Big fan of the savory, mineral, muscular, classic expression of this c-h. 85% Syrah 15% Roussanne. Needs time. Tight and restrained. Black olive, iron, plum, earth notes on a salty, mineral frame. Intense and wound up very tight. Very evocative, lovely. — 5 months ago
Aromatic, spicy, aetheric
Dried cherries, a hint of wilted flowers, but fresh , juicy, a touch spicy
Beautifully poised on the palate, elegant, must be peaking right now.
Juicy, mellowed tannins, brilliant acidity. Lovely purity and great depth.
Drinking beautifully right now. — 23 days ago
Village tavern. Very good. — 2 months ago
Light enough to pair with a seafood pasta dish but creamy enough to pair with a heavier meat sauce dish, dry, strong tannins, cherry aroma and earthy finish. Still a bit young, could use a few more years (not as rich as the 2013 we had a few years ago). — 2 months ago

First 2024 wine!! This is really excellent - haven’t had this grape (albana) before. Orange but in the way that I like - no overly “natural” funk and instead just excellent stony fruit and some great grip. Very juicy and almost savory with a long finish. Great value at $22. — 7 months ago

This is what I call an absolutely lovely Italian red is a short, squat bottle, dark purple, deep, rich fruit, really a super drinker with lasagna for dinner (and sub-$15)!! [Aglianico, Negroamaro and Primitivo] — 5 days ago
