Pale yellow/green appearance, immediately appealing for its zesty, vibrant grapefruit aroma notes with underlying herbal character that carries to the palate. Bright, lively, exuberant medium bodied style with a refreshing finish. Produced with cool fermentation in stainless steel to retain a lifted, fresh character.
Dense, rich, and luxurious, we taste cherries soaked in a burnt orange gelée. Roses and jasmine are evident mid-point, accompanied by raspberry-covered chocolate. Thanks to a fine acid structure, the wine’s powerful persona is curbed, allowing its finesse to shine.
Burnished black raspberry and graphite form a bond on a foundation of dark chocolate and sweet tobacco. White pepper outlines rose petals. Well-structured, with perky acidity and a creamy weightiness on the lengthy finish.
Tobacco, earth, and cedar integrate into its dynamic structure and inherent depth of flavor, color, and dense mouthfeel. Not a shy Pinot Noir, with blackberry and bittersweet dark chocolate playing a major role through the long finish.
Good color extraction, deep core, pleasant black and red fruit notes. Good intensity, quite weighty on the palate, a straightforward style that is appealing for its simplicity and direct character. Made for near-term drinking while the fruit character is lifted and vibrant. Good value.
It remains quite fresh thanks in part to a screwcap closure, but there’s also notable palate weight. The aromas are a bit faint, but flavors of honeydew melons and pears are more evident, with a bright edge of citrus acidity.
Quite tasty Prosecco in relation to its price tag, this showed very fresh flavors and abundant effervescence from the bottle. The lightly floral aromas lead to flavor notes of white peaches and green apples, with sweetness nicely offset by a suggestion of bright grapefruit in the finish.
Notably rich without seeming overly sweet, oaky, or manipulated, this is among the most enduringly enjoyable Chardonnays in its price category. The fact of being a certified sustainable wine is a strong plus, but the highlights here are the fruit notes recalling white peaches, dried apricots, and ripe pears.
