This is a great every day wine. Rich, crisp, even silky, and definitely persistent, Not showing a ton of complexity, although I wouldn’t be surprised if it arrived at some point. Very nice with arrabbiata pasta.

Vibrant white flower on the nose / green apple, wet stone, medium to med to med+ body, round and a touch homies but with some linearity—nice burst of acidity lifting the palate. Pretty long finish

This rich yet 12.5% wine has that fresh apple cider/apples and honey character that I normally associate with Chenin and that hits the pleasure center in my brain, but with an Italian almondy spin.

A rare find and so welcome. Aroma of stewed pears and cloves, palate is all bruised fruit with lemon curd and caramel, finish is long and thirst quenching because the acid rings clear. More like these on lists please!

Silky and rustic at the same time, somehow. An everyday white with character.

This is a fantastic wine. I've previously enjoyed the 2010 and 2011, but those were not close to this level. Very expressive and persistent; ashy and floral.
