February 3, 2019 - Served with pizza for the Super Bowl, this was its usual perfect partner for the pie. Moving into its fourth year the texture got a little softer, making it even easier to drink. A blend of Dolcetto, Barbera and Nebbiolo, it remains my go-to wine for pizza, and a fine value.

June 30, 2018 - The perfect pizza wine strikes again. Red fruit, bramble/herb notes, leather, and strong tannins cut through the richness of the pizza. One bite, one sip, one bite, one sip. Keep repeating.

April 28, 2018 - Nice blend. I gave it a two hour decant and appeared to be ready but wasn’t. I believe a year in the cellar would benefit.

October 25, 2017 - Such a great wine for the price, served with Agrodolce glazed grilled pork chops and brown butter sage acorn squash. A strong pairing for a fall day.

September 6, 2017 - Ordered off the wine list at Silver Fork in Manchester, Vermont. A collection of just about all of the Italian varietals grown in Cali. It was def more new world in nature - the fruits more prevalent, the acidity a bit lacking. Interesting wine though and one that I enjoyed trying.
