“This shows sharp, citrusy aromas with unripe peach, honey and green apple. The wine's contoured or edgy style and lean-bodied texture makes it a perfect pairing partner to tempura fried shrimp or vegetables. You get great value.”

“Lemon, lime, green and yellow apple, stones and bike tire come out on the nose, before a palate of lemonade and mixed nuts. Honeysuckle on the finish is brought back around to savoriness with briny notes emphasized by a quick streak of acid.”

“Very well integrated tannins that spread across the palate and give tension and form to the wine. Medium to full body. Chewy and juicy. Needs time to soften.”

“A powerful and tannic wine with mushroom, forest flower, bark, and black tea aromas and flavors. Full and chewy. This is a young nebbiolo that needs time to soften.”

'"The 2018 Indaco is classy and polished to the core. Silky and beautifully persistent, the 2018 impresses with its energy and overall poise. Mocha, espresso, blackberry jam, licorice and lavender come together nicely in this understated offering from Sette Cieli. A touch of aeration releases the aromatics nicely."

"The 2018 Scipio (Cabernet Franc) is wonderfully energetic and perfumed. Crushed flowers, mocha, tobacco, cedar and worn-in leather meld into a core of dark-toned fruit. In 2018, Scipio is on the more delicate side of things, but it all works well."

"The 2021 Noi4 is soft, fresh and fruity, making it a fine choice for drinking now and over the next few years. Black cherry, plum, chocolate, licorice and cloves are front and center. Bright floral accents lift the finish beautifully. This mid-weight Bolgheri red is a charmer."

“A compact, medium- to full-bodied red, this opens slowly on the palate to reveal silky layers of black currant and plum fruit, woodsy spice, orange peel, wild herb and minerally iron, stone and smoke notes. Dense and focused, yet still graceful and fresh throughout, with sinewy tannins that are well-meshed and provide a finely detailed frame.”

"A field of spring flowers wafts off the nose of this Vermentino before warmer, richer notes of lemon curd and almond paste emerge. The palate offers a wider array of citrus, leaning more toward lime and grapefruit now. Slightly bitter notes of raw almond skin contrast with delicate floral notes still detectable on the backpalate."

"An aromatic, harmonious white highlighted by ripe apple, lemon, floral and stone flavors. Rich midpalate, ending with a juicy saline kick."
