Easy and enjoyable wine. This could pass as a Sta. Rita Hills PN with a racy side and more pronounced. Smoked herbs and blackberry preserve fill the nose. Black peppercorns, red cherry and anise. Crisp and juicy. Finish displays fine grained tannins, spice and orange zest.

Mar 14th, 2017Purchased at the winery about 4 or 5 years ago, we thought this was excellent - much better than some of the ratings we saw in the trade magazines. Intense but balanced, complex fruit with hints of eucalyptus that for me is a great trademark of wines from this region in Australia, this was really terrific.

Jul 25th, 2019The sweet sweet Grenache over powers what little structure there is. At 15% ABV, this is mother's little helper. 95 pts!

May 28th, 2017A always been a fan of Mitolo. Smooth, lovely mid weight where the Shiraz enhances the Grenache. The tad bit of sagrantino is interesting. Don't recall tasting it previously. It all works well together.

Apr 30th, 2017Really nice, didn't expect mid weight and acidity makes it unexpectedly drinkable for 15%+. Thanks to Ridgewood Jonathan for the recommendation!

Feb 4th, 2016Subtly spiced, slightly textured, light side of medium bodied. The beautiful Italian grape of sagrantino takes up only a small % of this wine but has a firm presence. Lovely.
