Couldn’t taste much cause of covid, but I could tell this was nice.

Zippy acid, crunchy red fruit. Not too polished, still has that rustic Sicilian vibe to it. Infinity glu-glugable

Fun wine. Notes of Campari, burnt orange, spice, red fruit, flowers on the nose. The palate was lean but lively. Balanced structure but lacked fruit in mid palate. Fine finish. Good food wine. #frappato #sicily #ctbucklinwine

👁 granate capa ligera y limpidez alta 👃🏻 potencia media, cereza, notas florales fondo ahumado 👄 buena entrada, ligero, ágil, fresco y un final de fruta roja fresco muy persistente. Una muy buena opción!!!

Raspberry fruit leather and passion fruit with soft oak on the nose. Delicate but ripe red fruit on the palate with a good bitter balance on the finish.

Like cherry juice. Reminciensent of a light pinot. Almost cherry wood too. I had a wine from the Canary islands like this once.

Raspberry jam without the sweetness. Lean and acid drive. A perfect thanksgiving wine
