“Made from old vines ranging between 100 and 120-years-old, this vibrant white opens with aromas suggesting citrus, orchard fruit, linden blossom, acacia and a whiff of beeswax. On the savory, radiant palate, a mineral vein underscores green apple, grapefruit, and aromatic herb. Give this a few more years to fully develop. Drink 2018 through 2025.” -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Aug. 2016

“Made with 70 and 80-year-old Nerello Mascalese vines planted at high altitude, this opens with delicate but enticing scents of leather, menthol, iris, red berry and thyme. The elegantly structured palate doles out juicy black cherry, raspberry, mocha, cinnamon and licorice. Polished tannins, bright acidity and a mineral vein provide the framework.” -Kerin O’Keefe, Aug. 1, 2016

“Fresh, structured and savory, this opens with aromas of small red berry, brimstone, earth and fragrant blue flower. The zesty palate doles out ripe cherry, crushed strawberry, flinty mineral and star anise. Bright acidity lifts the finish.” -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Aug. 2016

“Aromas of sage, blueberry, and bark follow through to a medium body, fine tannins and tangy acidity. Delicious now but will age well. A solid cabernet sauvignon and merlot blend as always.” – James Suckling, Jul. 2016

Hold for more complexity. Empson USA Ltd.” -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast Jul 2016
