Clear, pale ruby in color with a hint of garnet; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary aromas of cherries, hibiscus, leather, and cured meat; on the palate, dry with high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary flavors of raspberries, strawberries, black tea, and clay pots with a long finish. This wine is complex and intense. There's a bitter flavor that is a little out of balance. Overall, I rate this wine as very good. Definitely needs to breath. — a month ago
Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of a couple of hours. The 2021 Classico pours a bright garnet color with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose the wine is developing with beautiful notes of ripe Morello cherry, raspberry, tart forest strawberry’s, a whole bouquet of roses, hibiscus, saltwater taffy, tar, assorted green herbs, old wood and dry dusty earth. After about an hour or so, pomegranate enters the chat. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long. These are early days but I’m really excited to track how these evolve with time. Drink now through 2051. — 18 days ago

This medium bodied Nebbiolo offers aromatics of fruit and spice with tart cherry and nutmeg on the palate. This wine is easy and approachable. The medium tannins carry the fruit through the finish. This wine can be enjoyed on its own or paired with food. This is a staple wine as it is very versatile. — 3 days ago
Opened a couple of hours before service. The 2001 “Rabaja” pours a garnet color with a translucent core and fairly significant rim variation; medium+ viscosity with light staining of the tears and significant sediment. On the nose, the wine is vinous with notes of ripe and desiccated, red fruit: Morello cherry, dried red flowers, truffle, old leather bound books, a mix of organic and inorganic earth and a pleasant blend of cool and warm spices. On the palate, the wine is dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose where there’s a bit of a Maillard reaction with the fruit showing a touch more stewed. The finish is medium+. Drink now after a couple hours in the decanter but should drink well through 2031. — a month ago
