“A complex wine that takes a few unexpected twists and turns. It offers fruit freshness coupled with waxy aromas that denote a little more oxygen or age. It shows citrus and peach, but you also get floral and herbal tones. There is a hint of sweetness on the wine's rich, mid-weight finish.”

“The nose evokes a camping trip, from plucking berries off thorny bushes to damp soil and leaves underfoot to wrapping up in a leather jacket and the smoke of a campfire. The palate turns peppery and meaty, with more berries and metallic, earthy undertones.”

“The nose begins with tea leaves, blackberries and dried cherries before turning more deeply umami with herbs, soy sauce, stone and soil. The tea leaves and soy sauce star on the palate, with everything working together to recall a serene Japanese garden.”

"This red is laced with black currant, blackberry, mint and iron flavors. Lean, turning sinewy as the dry, dusty tannins emerge. Though long, the finish is crisp."

"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."

'“This wine shows how far these wines have come in recent years. Even with all of its obvious intensity, the 2019 retains terrific freshness and energy. This is such a classy and elegant wine, certainly the best yet here.”

'“Shows the nuance Vermentino can acquire with a touch of age. Chamomile, dried flowers, mint, lemon oil, marzipan and sage lend notable complexity throughout. This creamy, beautifully textured Vermentino is a winner."

“A very pretty wine. A supple, perfumed Cabernet Sauvignon that emphasizes freshness and drinkability. I admire its balance and aromatic presence, both of which make it a fine choice for drinking over the next handful of years.”

"The figgy and plummy nose on this wine conveys prominent oak notes of vanilla and cedar, but also spicy dandelion greens and new notebooks and pencils for school. Sweet and savory balance characterizes the palate, with figs, plums and macerated berries as well as graphite. Firm but flexible tannins hold it all together."

"Notes of cooked apples and caramelized lemons with hints of almonds and creme caramel. Medium- to full-bodied, polished and textured with vivid acidity and a delicious fruit character. Creamy finish. From organically grown grapes."

"This is attractive and fresh with bitter lemon, white peaches, dried flowers and herbs. Medium-bodied, crisp and crunchy with vivid acidity and juicy character. Fruity finish. From organically grown grapes."

“The Castelprile della Volpaia 2018 Maremma Toscana Rosso is a generous, full-bodied red wine with hot-climate aromas of dried blackberry, plum and cherry. Those dark primary fruit aromas are framed by toasted oak and sweet cinnamon thanks to 18 months in barrique.”

“A tonic & vibrant wine with lots of citrus, sage and some sharp mineral detailing. You get great value with this fun, lean-bodied white wine that would pair with a classic seafood salad with a mix of mussels, squid and shrimp with olive oil and lemon juice.”

It offers all the richness that is typical of the Tuscan coast. Blackberry jam, licorice, bittersweet chocolate, mocha and sweet spice give this dark, voluptuous red quite a bit of complexity. The 2016 is very nicely done.
