Annia Napa Valley Tocai Friulano Blend
Lovely. White peach, eucalyptus, rose, raw almond, green papaya and green olive with an ever-so oily texture. If I had to compare with old world wines of similar makeup, I’d say this was riper but less mineral. This did not improve on day 2+ the way I’d expected it to, but I’m still curious to see how it performs with bottle age, as these varieties typically age very well.

Nov 1st, 2020Peach, Apple, pineapple, salinity, and funk. Great wine showing potential of Italian varietals in California.

@Dan Petroski you knocked it out of the park here. This is the best Italian white varietal based wine I have had outside Collio-Friulli (were the best Italian whites are from of course). Many times in CA the elegant white grape based wines have a texture that is thick and the fruit even in the best cases a little too sweet, for my tastes you got that balance right on this one Dan. Excellent wine!

Precise, showing citrus and white flower. Excellent acidity.
