2023 vintage. Pretty sure this vineyard was dealing with a replanting. Dunno where this offering falls on either side of that. Medium body. Bright cherry and cola right off the bat. Some earthy, durty tones hanging out underneath the bleachers. Some oak influence. Full disclosure: fan of this producer and particular vineyard but not of singled-out Grenache. Likely better in a year or two. 3.16.25. — a month ago

Have had this 2019a few times over past 5 years . Still young but beguiling complexity. Spices like juniper berry rosemary clove nutmeg . Cranberry and cherry fruit with a stemmy forest aspect. In a dinner wine night of Pinot from around the world this was the standout — 4 months ago

Cherry. Earthy. Touch smokey. Touch bitter. Spice. Good but not a burgh like wine despite the low%. but a good effort. A little rough around the edges. — 4 months ago

2019 vintage. Another bigg effort. Medium-heavy/heavy body. Brawnier than the Duvarita and the John Sebastiano vineyard efforts in 2019 but it has its’ own charm. Pair with pretty much anything off the grill. 1.10.24. — 2 years ago

Querciabella, in Italian, means “beautiful oak” and surrounds their vineyards. Founded in 1974 by Giuseppe Castiglioni, now managed and owned by Sebastiano Cossia Castiglionii. Sangiovese from biodynamically grown grapes, Ruby, lovely nose of fruit, floral and spice. On the palate cherry and blackberry flavors with earthy herb notes and spicy cacao. Fine tannins, good balance, medium+ finish ending with earthy character. Nice value, consistent. — 4 years ago
