"A juicy, well-driven and generously fruited blend of grenache and syrah. Aromas of baked cherries, red berries, dried herbs and baking spices dominate the nose. It’s medium- to full-bodied with a vivid core of succulent berries at the center. Good energy and drive here, bringing freshness to the fruit and the vivid, spicier finish.”

"A pretty red, elegant and expressive, offering strawberry, cherry, rose and mineral flavors. Refined tannins and vibrant acidity provide the right amount of support, giving an overall sense of harmony. This firms up nicely, turning more austere, with red fruit and savory notes on the long aftertaste."

"Polished and sleek in style, offering graceful flavors of lemon tart, orange blossoms and spices that sail on the long, silky finish."

"Cherry, plum, tar, tobacco and wild herb flavors permeate this muscular red, which is on the austere side today, not yielding much fruit, with a dense base of beefy tannins."

"This is supple and complex, delivering cherry, strawberry, summer meadow, earth, leather and iron aromas and flavors. Firmly structured, this picks up a hint of licorice as it winds down on the lingering finish, with tannins that are solid yet civilized. Shows fine potential."

"This aromatic red exudes spice and savory notes of eucalyptus, juniper, rose hip, bergamot and white pepper. Cherry, iron and tobacco flavors follow through as this tightens up on the long finish. Though balanced, this needs time for all its components to knit together."

"Elegant, expressive, linear and firmly built, this red reveals strawberry, cherry, rose hip, eucalyptus, juniper, iron and salty flavors. Lithe and nimble, with a line of resonant tannins on the finish."

“The 2021 Chardonnay Sigrid is bright and crystalline, offering scents of Meyer lemon, almonds, meringue and flint. The palate is surprisingly powerful! It explodes with concentrated apple and almond layers, while its firm, linear acidity provides tension."

“The 2017 Chardonnay Sigrid is very reductive on the nose, which could be polarizing. The medium-bodied palate is much more open at this stage, offering a deep core of apple fruit and soft, tertiary character. Its concentration and gently grippy texture are balanced by bright acidity, and it has a long, savory finish. It will benefit from a long decant.”

"With a garnet hue, it features blackberry and herb aromas, with subtle cherry notes. Dry and plush on the palate, it leaves a balanced and lingering impression with an expressive final whiff."

“Unusually generous for Provençal Rosé, this shows a soft bouquet at the outset, but then very ripe flavors recalling red berries. Fully medium-bodied, this is not in the wispy style that many wine lovers now associate with Provence Rosé. I once overheard someone bemoan that style by quipping, “I’d like some wine in my wine,” and that person would be very pleased by this release.”

"Plump and polished, showing multilayered raspberry and guava flavors laced with smoked meat and cracked pepper notes as this builds richness and tension toward refined tannins."

"The 2019 Etna Bianco Superiore Pietra Marina captivates. It’s perfumed and floral, with enriching notes of almond paste and confectionery spice that perfectly accentuate a smoky core of white peaches. There’s more lift on the palate, but it's a little backward, possessing wiry textures and an intense mineral core that adds depth to its citrus-inflected orchard fruits. Nervous acidity forces the mouth to water and maintains a dazzling freshness as inner florals resonate and a sour lime concentration settles in."

"Dark and dusty, the 2018 Etna Rosso Riserva Serra della Contessa Particella No. 587 wafts up with unexpected richness as plum sauce and cinnamon spice combine with rubbed sage and hints of white smoke. This sweeps across the palate, soft, elegant and medium in body. A saturation of red and blue fruits drenches the palate in primary concentration while edgy tannins tug at the cheeks."

"The 2021 Nerello Cappuccio is dark and brooding in the glass. Hints of sage and balsamic spice complicate dried black cherries on the nose. It’s much more giving on the palate, pleasantly ripe in style with a wave of tart wild berry fruits and saline minerals that saturate, adding tension toward the close. The 2021 tapers off with a staining of primary concentration, gently grippy tannins and a bitter tinge of tart blackberry that lingers on and on."

"The 2018 Etna Rosso Riserva Rovittello Particella No. 341 lifts from the glass with a spice-box bouquet, mixing camphor with cloves, incense, black cherries, burnt orange and a dusting of cocoa. It’s lifted and finessed with silky textures over a wiry framework. Tart wild berry fruits saturate, and cedary spice resonates toward the close. The 2018 finishes structured and pleasantly bitter as hints of dark chocolate and blackberry linger on and on. This is an excellent effort in a challenging vintage."

"The NV Rosso Passito mixes sweet black cherries with minty herbs and a spike of spiced orange. It's pleasantly sweet yet vibrant and lifted in style. Silky textures and masses of ripe red and blue fruits run through, joining hints of licorice, mocha and expresso on the long and staining finish. Through it all, the Rosso remains quite fresh."

"The NV Bianco Passito is exotic in the glass, with a tropical air of citrus and florals. Soothingly soft and round, it splashes across the palate with minty herbal freshness and a wave of ripe peaches and green melon, all balanced by candied citrus. It cleans up quite well, finishing with a potent saturation of sweet spice."

"The 2023 Grillo Timpa is airy and sweetly scented, wafting up with hints of mint leaf, green melon and confectionery spice. This smooths over the palate with fleshy textures and citrus-tinged white pit fruits as a tropical air of inner florals forms toward the close. The 2023 finishes with admirable length and freshness, closing with a youthful tension and a citrus concentration that tugs at the cheeks. Nicely done."

"The 2022 Etna Rosso wafts up with a perfumed blend of rosy florals and hints of juniper berry. This is vividly fruit-focused, with a wave of ripe wild berries and sweet spices that flow across a stream of brisk acidity. It leaves a staining of primary concentration and mildly grippy tannins to resonate as violet inner florals slowly fade. While more extroverted than expected, the 2022 is a total pleasure to taste and maintains fantastic balance."
