Attractive aromas of pear, apple, apricot, and lemon oil with subtle florality and baking spice. This Grillo is round and creamy on a medium-weight frame. Flavors echo the nose, accompanied by marmalade, mineral and nectarine. Refreshing and bright with a sunny disposition!

94 points. "Currants, blackberries, licorice and big minerality all emerge from this beautifully pure, full-bodied effort that has a big mid-palate and a serious kick of tannin that emerges on the mid-palate and finish. Give it a year or two and drink it through 2028. It’s unquestionably one of the top wines in the vintage." - Jeb Dunnuck, The Wine Advocate March 2016

Nicely aromatic and a little peppery, with cherry fruit, a little bit of earth, bramble and roasted pepper. The palate possesses a certain masculinity & seriousness: dark fruit flavors, plum and some spice are structured by medium tannins and medium-to-plus acid on this nicely textured wine.
