12/22/2010 - Earl T wrote: 89 pointsI like Greco de Tufo and this one is a fine example. Light, crisp and refreching w some citrus and with hint of fresh cut green grass on the nose amongst floral elements. Think mix of a sav blanc (typical S African style comes to mind) and a good p grigio , italian of course. |

12/13/2009 - Earl T wrote: 91 pointsWhen this wine arrived I couldn't wait to try. Popped and nose right out of bottle was vibrant, fresh fruit: strawberry, muscadine, blueberries and was that rasberry? killer straight up. Same fruit taste, silky texture, medium body. lives up to the '07 rep for Southern Rhone. |

9/30/2012 - Earl T wrote: NRAmazingly this wine is still drinking well. Lots of fruit still in there. Typical of this wine palate is full and loaded with fruity goodness. Not for Pinot lovers. But I like it. Damn good with braised beef though! A little heat still at the end, but not overpowering. |

9/7/2013 - Earl T Does not like this wine: 80 pointsdont know if only past its prime or started this way but it has lost its color and fruit already, if it ever had it, even though been in my climate controlled cellar the whole way. color looks like a 15 year old wine. Too much green bell pepper for me. pass. |
