Completely resolved. Stewed cherries. Smoky, earthy, mushrooms. Kiss of Brett.

Delicate red fruits, sage and olives, sous bois. Serve slightly chilled, paired with grilled octopus. Drink now.

Stacy Markow

Juicy fruit with moderate plus acidity. When we first opened it was very earthy and rustic automatically,palate was another story.

I say goddamn. And I smile real big. 10ish years ago, Arianna's very first vintage made me realize how alive and immediate wine could be, and turned me on to Etna, Frappato, natural wine and Louis/Dressner. And it's still all that, and a bag of chips. Desert island wine.

Crunchy, effervescent, great texture, pure wine. So good

Justin Bothur

Integrated, balanced, powerful and elegant at the same time.

2014 barrel tasting. Beautiful elegant and lightly wild aroma. Balanced and fresh taste..

Annie Kilgour

Delightful! Light, delicate, smoke and cherries. Medium bodied.

A bit of funk to start but it’s juicy balanced good acidity. Flexible with food.
