Raffaldini is as consistent a wine producer as any on the East Coast… The expectations of their standard Sangiovese are realistic....and they exceed my expectations each time. Purity and balance describes this happy, in-season red cherry profile. Tremendous value for weekday Italian/Mediterranean fare.  — 4 years ago

Quite a revelation! This Sagrantino driven blend is rich and seductive. The mouthfeel is energetic and the mid-palate richness is that of a beautifully reduce compote...all leading to a generous finish. I want more!! — 6 years ago

Had this with al fresco lunch at Raffaldini vineyards. Lemon zest followed by brisk acidity and mango fruit flavors light pear nose. Bene! — 7 years ago

While the acid edge has dull a bit, this was full of life/flavor: lime & white grapefruit with a honeydew viscous body. The ‘17 is a 92pt version, tho! — 5 years ago

What a fabulous food friendly wine made with time honored Italian techniques from Yadkin Valley soils!! At approximately $20 per, this Shirley has to be one of the best values in North Carolina. Texture and mouth feel rule this vibrant and dark fruit driven gem — 5 years ago

Plum Apricot- stone fruit on the nose. Pear on the palate with ripe lingering note. Peach hints. Not sweet but delicate. Toasting the return of power after Florence. I’m not truthful about location. Verandas had chimney fall through two floors so I’m roasting their and my leaking Visctorian’s speedy recovery and those still without power to chill. This is a NC wine so supporting local as farms are underwater close by. Sad song plays on lingering breeze. Chain saws fell mighty oaks. This glass and more are needed to remember- and raise- to stay strong! — 6 years ago
