2Q18, magnum, drinking fantastically. Never had anything from this vintner, but was in the restaurant and saw this for a ‘reasonable’ price - as good as you would expect! — 8 years ago

Harmonious blend, not too fruity, mild but pleasing in flavor. Delicate and smooth, producing a happy pairing with charcuterie. — 4 years ago
Obsessed with the discovery of this Grillo grape! Heavenly! — 5 years ago
Okay wow. Obsessed with this wine! Raspberry and big oak on nose - explosion of bright red fruit on the pallette with medium body and a very tart and dry finish. Day 2 is even more delicious the astringency mellows out and its so delightful and smooth but still complex with the red fruit, baking spice, and tartness. — 6 years ago
Wow, old school perfection! California wine from a forgotten age. Pure Italian-American greatness. Reminds me of the wine my childhood landlord would make from the vines that grew behind our house just upstate from NYC. Dark fruits abundant, soft acidity and tanins, nice touch of oak, without obscuring the graps as so many California wineries are obsessed with doing for some reason these days. Found this at a random liquor store on a road trip, will seek it out now. Even better than the Cribari Chianti or Coppola Rosso, which were my previous favorite in this genre, the wonderfully underappreciated "backyard" wine... — 8 years ago

Vintage 2015 | Rene Pöckl is a magician vintner in Burgenland. Nice, modest and determined to make the best wine possible. This 2015 seemed after ten years infanticide, great structure and a huge promise for the future. Tasted blind next to Errazuriz Don Maximiliano 2015. Win for Pöckl. — a year ago
