Una bottiglia che viene dagli anni 70, almeno 40 anni sulle spalle e una vitalità commovente. Solo il colore è diventato leggermente marrone, il naso è fantastico, ricchissimo, di una complessità unica, l'alcol ha tenuto alla grande e in bocca è ancora equilibrato con una freschezza strabiliante. 2lt di goduria allo stato puro. — 9 years ago

So I am new to this area by 7 months. Just started exploring the Temecula Valley wine region. I must admit, I kind of had apprehension because I've imbibed on great wine from many great places, so what was I to think about this unknown area? Well my local friend Lisa invited me to come out and do a tasting. As I entered the place, I was pleasantly surprised. The ambiance in this tasting room was impeccable. It's safe to say, this is the most attractive tasting room I've ever seen and I've been in the industry for some time. Magda was our hostess and her attention to detail and customer service was nothing but refreshing. I felt like I was in her home and she treated me as such. Now the wine. This blend is fantastic! It had a bright and medium fruit forward attack in the front end and a medium bodied flavor about it. Boysenberry Jam, smoked plum, and Bing cherries on the palette. Mild tannins, and a smooth medium dry finish. Had character in the legs like a Cab but qualities in color like a Pinot Noir. The Barbera in this blend was making its of known throughout the tasting experience. Highly recommend. — 8 years ago

2001 Tenuto dell' Ornellaia Masseto merlot. Drank during date night at Vincenti. Decanted about an hour before drinking, but it was still massive. It was a gorgeous wine though- full bouquet of fruits and rich tannins. Loved it! — 8 years ago
