This is a dark purple, however, translucent wine. The flavor profile is like many Amarones, but the body is lighter than expected. The complexity is simple, and the structure is flat. The intensity is medium with some astringency. Overall, this is a simple wine, but not a bad wine for an Amarone.

This is a clear, medium straw yellow colored wine. The nose is filled with fruit. The palate consists of lime, green apple, and grapefruit. This vermentino has more body than the same variety from Italy. It has a soft consistency to compliment its refreshing acidity. The finish is fresh and clean. This is a good wine that I'd describe as a varietal vermentino with New World character.

This is a light yellow colored wine. There's lemon, melon, apple, and yeast on the palate. It's a medium bodied wine with lively acidity. The structure is consistent with persistent intensity. This wine is primarily Pinot Meunier which is probably where the apple flavor comes from. It's a very good wine for the price.
