A yeasty touch still clings to the lemon and green pear notes on the nose. The palate makes most of this textural element and disperses it with bright lemon throughout the fresh and dry palate. it’s versatile, light but concentrated wine. Wine Enthusiast 90 pts

Good balance and lively acidity make this dry, medium-bodied wine especially attractive. Fresh yet concentrated pear, almond and cream flavors start slowly, then build on the palate. Wine Enthusiast 90 pts

Fragrant purple flower, baking spice and black-skinned berry aromas mingle with an earthy whiff of forest floor. On the succulent palate, supple tannins and fresh acidity balance juicy Marasca cherry, crushed raspberry and licorice. It’s easy drinking and savory. Drink through 2020. Wine Enthusiast 90 pts

I like the pretty tangerine and citrus character here, which works well with the main attraction of red berries and spices. Light to medium body, fine tannins and a fruity finish. A blend of sangiovese, merlot, and cabernet sauvignon. Drink now. James Suckling 90 pts
