Way too young, but still delicious. At this point, it's just fruit, dusty earth, and a slight herbal bite.

Hard to confuse this for anything other than vermentino. Shows the volcanic soils well. Has a petrol quality I love, but unlike what you would find in Mosel Riesling. Classy juice!

Paired wonderfully with the second half of the specially prepared 18 course chef's course tasting menu at The French Laundry.

Little touch of brett in this one. Where's Web Bond when you need an offensive opinion?

Not the best bottle. But, the class shines through.

Robe brune acajou
Nez fruit noir réglisse épicé
Bouche ample suave en phase de déclin mais avec une superbe rémanence encore des arômes beau grain tannique

Absolutely fantastic. Have friends tasting blind and they thought it was a Barolo with age.
This was singing and just perfect. Earthy, leather and touch of VA, dark fruits with garrigue, the palate is so alive and balanced. Quite refined for Arena.
