  Deceptively pale and light and without much of a nose, this surprised on the palette with lovely lime (held in check) and lychee flavors, and even a hint of was that yuzu? Feels like it needs several years to really show what it can do. Love me the Etna carricantes, and totally intrigued to see/taste what can be done with this grape in California.

  Pleasantly surprised by this - bright, vibrant fruit with clarity. A touch less expressive on the nose initially, but getting some lime, lychee, minerality. Nice balance through the finish. I was skeptical but the underlying material here seems very promising. Will check in again in ~5 years.

  At Boston Wine & Poker, Needham, Mass.: Tasted blind. Light color. Limited aroma. High acidity. Light body. Slightly smoky, clean, incisive.

  Very light and pale in color. Improved quite a bit in the glass, probably was worth a decant, in hindsight. Waxy nose, with soft hints of buttercup and lime. More citrus fruit there on the palate. A bit light. Wouldn’t buy again ($59 from winery!)
