So I tried to make a Stracatto. Yeah it was over salted and it turned into a Ragu because the meat got cooked in a great way that fell apart, but not how the recipe called for. Saving grace this meal, this wine. I mean, it smells Italian with a dust in the leather in the beefy chewy grape beef steak tomato base to it. Cut through the fat of a slow cooked Chuck’s steak and a heavy hand of garlic and thyme. Really shown very well, delicious wine, and I drink this with a meal every day. — 3 days ago

Everybody seems to have glowing opinions of this, but mine was just a good wine and all the complexity in depth that I’m hearing about here I just didn’t get. A very good balance of strong flavors drank it across three days, dark pepper, and tobacco notes and ripe fruit and I will say without any overwhelming attendance. The structure was just incredible. Very good wine, maybe I’m just different than the other reviewers.  — 14 days ago

Intense, strong and unforgiving. Sweet, red berries and red fruits, crushed berries, a little bit jammy at times, but it doesn’t lose its structure. Definitely some plum flavors going on here and kind of a dusty and kind of a wood smoke thing going on. Intense with Gouda cheese and unexpectedly went well with a very meaty lasagna.  — 3 months ago

Intense and deep. Leather and roasting, spices and heavy clay and chewy tans and everything in between. Drank it over three days with a variety of steak and roasted mushrooms and Italian food and it went well with everything just very broad and deep and brewing.  — 7 days ago

Oh yeah. Tart, candied lemon and apple, nose of petrol. Slightly viscous with green apple sweetness. Delicious. — 9 days ago

Rich and deep, went well with a very herb, chicken thigh, and fresh green salad mix. Not very complex, earthiness, smashed red fruit, not a ton of structure. If you’re looking for a light table wine this is not it, but it’s still good if not exceptional. — a month ago

Interesting how it comes across as a more serious wine then you get from the region, but then you taste the floral and the lightness, but it’s interesting that the lightness of the wine hides behind the heavy side. My bottle has been open for a bit. I can tell it definitely has that chewy almost ripe fruit, sort of Christmas spices thing going on, very delicious and pairs very well with my meal, but just a different kind of wine you get from the region. Usually, you get the floral and delicate flavors first but not this one. Very interesting and very delicious.  — 9 days ago

Freddy, on the sweet side, but still light and pretty fresh. Honestly, a great representation of what we’re looking for here and really we had it with everything. Could probably have it with most meals. It’s such a good compliment, easily drinkable.  — 19 days ago

White peach stone fruit in a hint, just a hint of diesel on opening, but the diesel smelled dissipated quickly and never came back. At first blasted almost a bit chewy yeast he kind of like a still champagne, but that changed as it opened up and got some subtle mineral notes along with the broad stone, fruit, white peach, apricot, you name it. Tried a little bit of smoked Gouda with it, and it definitely turned into a much better wine with the cheese and smokiness playing off the flavors of the semi crisp and fruity wine.  — 3 months ago
