Exceptional quality!! Blend is primarily Garganega that is rounded out with small amounts of Sauvignon Blanc, Chardonnay and Trebbiano. Pale straw color. Plentiful aromas of tropical fruit, white flowers, wet slate and a light touch of smoke. Flavors of peach, cantaloupe, lemon zest and raw nuts. Beautiful volcanic mineral/saline thread on the long lasting and crisp finish. Medium bodied with a slightly waxy/mouth coating texture. Rich and savory. So hard to put down. Thanking Petey and Kase for selecting this beautiful Father’s Day wine. — a month ago

Great wine! A lighter wine with tons of sour cherry, watermelon, balanced by good earth with forest trees. Excellent with food. Excellent summer red wine. — 3 years ago

This year’s white tasting winner. Light, grapefruit forward, quick finish. Very refreshing. Bet it would be good with raw bar. — 5 years ago

Heady nose of blackberries, jammy purple fruit, brambly and peppery aromas, and then surprisingly lifted on the palate. Sappy with a uniquely Spanish garrigue quality. Refined in its structure and reminiscent of cru Beaujolais in the realm of brouilly or moulin a vent... but at 15 years ago prices. Such a generous wine! Plenty of freshness, spice and raw pleasure to spare. — 6 years ago

Still young but starting to get into the zone (a 25+ year zone TBH) for Musar. 1998 has a delicious earthy nose of mushrooms, truffles, and a bit of leaves. Palate is a little green about 75-90 minutes after decanting. Works well with a bone in ribeye and mushroom fricassee with raw egg and garlic butter. — 7 years ago

Austere yet so elegant. And still so very young. Needs time!
Enticing nose with violets, orange zest, dark cherry, wet slate, smoke, roast, raw beef, cloves & allspice. Evolves as it opens up.
Pure & vibrant on the palate. With fresh, juicy acidity, cool freshness & mineral depth. The tannins are amazing - so polished, finely grained, juicy. Poised, elegant, and yet uncompromising. A beauty & will get even better with some age! Wow! — 2 years ago

Red and black fruits, leather, quite a bit of new oak still showing and fairly raw tannin. Crazy how young this showed for a 16 yr old wine. Next bottle in 5 + yrs. — 3 years ago

The 2019 Trebbiano d'Abruzzo is so easy to like, with a bouquet of raw almond and crushed stone with honeyed apples and hints of fresh mint. This soothes the palate with soft textures and ripe orchard fruits, as a mix of salty minerals and brisk acids add tension toward the close. The 2019 is harmonious, youthfully spry and packed full of character, as it tapers off mouthwatering yet grippy under an air of inner florals. (Eric Guido, Vinous, April 2021)

From Mag. 96 an excellent vintage. Magnum is the preferred storage for Champagne.

You can sense the age from the very first sip.

Nose has a little bruised apple & pear, apple cider, dry apricots, malt, notes of caramel, sugar in the raw, cream, sea spray/fossils, understated lemon/lime pulp, slightly fermented pineapple, white spice, baguette crust, graham crackers, withering yellow flowers, lilies.

Strong almonds on the nose. Crisp flavors of lemon, a four slice toaster of yeasty toast, and the same taste of raw almonds that are in the aroma. I enjoyed this, my wife thought it was average. — 3 years ago

Limpid, green-tinged yellow. Sharply focused, mineral-driven lemon pith, pear skin and tarragon scents pick up a floral nuance with air. Shows distinct saltiness and sharp focus as well as depth on the palate, offering sappy Meyer lemon, pear and honeycomb flavors and a touch of herbacity. Finishes long and chewy, with the floral and tarragon notes repeating. This wine's intriguing, savory and briny character is pretty wild, and I can vouch for how well it works with raw oysters and clams. In the context of world-class white wines, this one delivers simply amazing value. (Josh Raynolds, Vinous, June 2021)

One of my favorite Burgundian producers. I have to say, the 2012 vintage of this was more bright and in your face with the acidity.. this year however, is MUCH more elegant and Montrachet like. Subtle touches of Oak and Malo, light raw almond and hazelnut tones on nose and pallet, with supple acidity and creamy textures. Golden apple, mandarin orange, lemon juice, crushed rock, crema, butter, raw almond, toasted hazelnut. Absolutely delicious. — 8 years ago
