It's back! Deep, vivid coppery orange in the glass. Nose a bit shy, but yields honey and magnolia blossom. Firm backbone of acidity with a bit of a tingle on the tongue greets on the palate. Flavors match the aromas adding blood orange and white pepper. Gentle (medium minus) tannins assert on the finish. Everything well integrated, including the alcohol in this big white. Definitely cries out for food: chicken and mushroom (see: Chester County, PA) pot pie was a natural. Another triumph by Anthony Vietri. — 8 years ago

Dark purple garnet in the glass. Nose of plum, molasses, and cocoa. Medium full body, medium tannins, medium acidity. Palate of juicy plum, cobbler crust, blackstrap molasses, hints, clove. Medium short finish. Still some time left, too. This is one of the eastern greats. Enjoyable as a "sipper" but especially with hearty foods. Another triumph by Anthony Vietri! — 8 years ago
