I served this in my wine course. Very nice high pitched briny nose is the best feature of this wine. Decent bitter finish, but a bit of a disappointing hole in the middle relative to what I was expecting based on the nose.

Popped and poured. This is a clean, mid-bodied white with mineral and pitted-fruit aspects. There's the slightest burnt rubber note on the finish that holds this back from a higher score, but it is both very good and very interesting. I'd repurchase.

A joint project between four winemakers, Matošević, Degrassi, Kozlović & Joe Bastianich (Ma-De-Ba-Ko). Nice floral and mildly herbal nose. Med/full body with medium acidity. Very easy and enjoyable to drink. Finishes with minerality. Reminds me in weight of well-made Viognier or Roussanne. A bit richer than I'd expected, actually. Fairly straight forward, and pleasing.

Just didn't like this. Had an American-made Malvatia from Sterling, and liked that one probably because it was softened by some sweetness to it.

Decent, but didn't love. Somewhat lush in terms of fruit, a bit astringent with a short finish. Can't really recommend.
