RP9090 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 28th Dec 2018 The incredibly perfumed 2017 Evodia was true to its name, as apparently ’evodia’ means fragrant in the ancient Greek language. It had been bottled for a few months when I tasted it and it was very harmonious and expressive. They have reduced quantities and raised the price a bit, going into a different segment of the market, definitely a better wine than what I tasted from 2016. It achieved almost 15% alcohol in 2017, one of the earliest harvests of the last 20 years after some spring frosts and a very dry summer. Only 20% of the volume matured in barrel, while the rest was kept in concrete vats for six months. It’s very easy to drink, with unnoticeable tannins and a long, lingering finish. Super tasty and impressive for the price. 150,000 bottles were produced.
WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - December 1, 2019 A high-toned acidity keeps this wine’s notes of ripe plum and fruit nectar in line and on point.VN8787 pts. - Vinous - Sep 2019 The 2017 Cabernet Sauvignon Paso Robles Highlands District is a bold, pungent wine. Savory herbs, tobacco and cedar add a strong aromatic presence. Although a very good wine, the Cabernet is not quite as compelling as the other wines in the range, while the savory style is on the edge of being distractingly vegetal.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

VN8888 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2016 Vivid ruby-red. Jammy red and dark berry scents, enlivened by a suggestion of white pepper. Juicy and light on its feet, offering gently sweet black raspberry and spicecake flavors that loosen up on the back half. Finishes smooth and gently tannic, showing good cling and lingering sweetness.Premier SelectPremier Select wines are handpicked by our staff from amongst thousands of wines for their exceptional quality.

WE9292 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 4/1/2021 Concentrated and creamy but not overly showy, this wine is balanced, restrained and layered. It meshes an apple-tart flavor with subtle vanilla and nutmeg nuances while underlying acidity achieves excellent balance.

JS9292 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Tuesday, February 2, 2021 Very pale apricot-pink color. Delicate aromas of sliced apple, pink grapefruit, peach, cream and stones follow through to a medium body and crisp acidity. Deliciously creamy and smooth. Drink and enjoy.VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2021 Brilliant peach skin. Red berries and pit fruits on the nose, and a floral nuance in the background. Silky and open-knit, showing good depth as well as energy to the red currant and nectarine flavors, which pick up a refreshingly bitter orange zest quality on the back half. Finishes long and juicy, with a repeating floral note and subtle grip. Don’t hate on this wine just because it’s popular.
RP9191 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 17th Oct 2019 The 2017 Etna Rosso (made with 80% Nerello Mascalese and 20% Nerello Cappuccio) offers a very smoky and ashy bouquet that tells you, without any doubt, that this is a wine from the mighty Etna volcano. Rose petal and light berry aromas blur and soften the lines of those pretty mineral notes that are so strong at the beginning. Blue violets and blueberries are delicate accents that fill out the close. This vintage really pulls it all together nicely, a great pairing for pappardelle with wild chanterelle mushrooms. With 70,000 bottles made, this is an accessible wine offered at a great value.WE9191 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 1/1/2020 Smooth and bright, this boasts an earthy elegance, opening with aromas of wild berry, blue flower and Mediterranean herb that interlace with earthy whiffs of leather and game. The juicy, linear palate offers crushed red cherry, orange zest, star anise and white pepper alongside lithe tannins and lively acidity. It closes on a saline note. Drink through 2027.

VN8787 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2020 Light, brilliant orange. Strawberry, peach and a suggestion of honey on the nose and palate. In a straightforward, fruit-driven style, showing a faint jammy quality on the finish, which features a subtle floral note.
VN8989 pts. - Vinous - Jul 2021 The 2019 Susumaniello Askos mixes peppery herbs with woodland berries and smoke to create an understated yet very pretty bouquet. Its silky textures flow effortlessly across the senses, riding a wave of cooling acid and mineral tones, and hints of blackberry come forward more toward the close. The 2019 tapers off persistent and lightly structured, leading me to believe that a year or two of cellaring may reveal an even deeper expression.
RP9595 pts. - Robert Parker’s The Wine Advocate - 5th Nov 2020 A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc and 2% Petit Verdot, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is deep garnet-purple in color, striding confidently out of the glass with classic notes of baked plums, blackberry pie and blackcurrant cordial plus hints of cedar, unsmoked cigars and tilled soil. Medium to full-bodied, concentrated and featuring impressively pure black fruit flavors, the palate delivers a firm texture of ripe, fine-grained tannins, finishing long, layered and with lovely freshness. 1,400 cases were made.JS9494 pts. - JamesSuckling.com - Monday, August 24, 2020 Lots of walnut, chocolate, currant and thyme character to this with some wet earth and forest fruit. Vibrant nose. It’s full-bodied with lots of fruit and ripe tannins. Flavorful finish. Solid red. Drink or hold.JD92+92–94+ pts. - Jeb Dunnuck - January 31, 2020 Lastly, the 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve comes is a selection put together by Biagi and comes from a mix of the single vineyards. A blend of 86% Cabernet Sauvignon, 12% Cabernet Franc, and the rest Petit Verdot, all still aging in new barrels, it offers a plush, forward, full-bodied style that carries classic notes of jammy blackberry and cassis intermixed with lots of spice, chocolate, and a touch of graphite. This pleasure bent beauty will drink nicely for 10–15 years.VN91+91–94 pts. - Vinous - Jan 2020 The 2018 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve is powerful and dense with a real sense of classicism that runs through it. Gravel, licorice, black cherry, cloves and leather all race out of the glass in a positively stunning, inviting Cabernet that hits so many high notes. There is something truly magical about the 2018. Given its quality and price, the Reserve is unquestionably the wine in this range readers should focus on first.
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Dec 2020 Opaque ruby. Deep-pitched scents of ripe black/blue fruits, vanilla and succulent herbs. Plush and open-knit, offering smoke-tinged blackberry cherry, licorice and bitter chocolate flavors complemented by spicy oak tones. Fruit-driven and approachable, finishing with rounded tannins and a touch of cracked pepper.WE8888 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 4/1/2021 Blackberry, loamy soil, incense and roasted meat aromas show on the nose of this bottling. It lands on the palate with clean red fruit and sharp acidity, as waves of pine and smoke ride slightly chunky tannins into the finish.
WS8888 pts. - Wine & Spirits - August 1, 2013 A perennial favorite, this offers clean apple flavors at an unusually affordable price for such a completely dry style. It is a great party pour, or an aperitif to sip with raw clams.SP8787 pts. - Wine Spectator - Dec 31, 2011 There’s a savory edge to the apple pastry, ginger and almond cream flavors in this well-cut and focused cava. The mouthwatering finish is tinged with smoke and nut notes. Drink now through 2015. 300,000 cases made.ST8787 pts. - Stephen Tanzer’s International Wine Cellar - Jan/Feb 2010 Light, bright gold with a slow, fine bead. Pungent aromas of dried flowers, smoky herbs, orange peel and apple. Very complex for the price, offering round orchard and pit fruit flavors and bracingly bitter citrus pith. Finishes on a gently sweet note, with repeating notes of flowers and orange. This can be had for as little as $7 in some markets, which must make it the best sparkling wine value around.WE8585 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 12/15/2005 Light aromas of petrol and lemon-lime are entirely correct for cava, and the palate pushes fresh fruit in the tangerine and grapefruit realm. Has a bit of heft and zap, with a dry, largely clean finish. Fine on its own; maybe better in a Spanish-style mimosa.
VN9090 pts. - Vinous - Mar 2021 Dark ruby. Aromas of ripe red and blue fruits, lavender and baking spices, plus a hint of smokiness in the background. Appealingly sweet and seamless on the palate, offering juicy black raspberry, cherry cola and floral pastille flavors that firm up slowly on the back half. A long, smooth finish shows very good clarity, discreet tannins and recurring spiciness.
VN9191 pts. - Vinous - Jun 2021 Pretty in pink, yet verging on red and packed full of character, the 2020 Cerasuolo d’Abruzzo lifts up from the glass with beguiling depths of crushed stone, wild strawberries, nectarine and zesty citrus. It’s vibrant, seeming to sizzle upon the senses with pent-up tension, as ripe red fruits ride a wave of stimulating acidity, leaving sweet inner florals in their wake. Enriching notes of spice, pomegranate and cherry pits linger through the long, slightly grippy and mouthwatering finale. Pour me another, please. This wine is made from a single vineyard with clay soils and a southern exposure, which was specifically tailored to grow Montepulciano for Cerasuolo. I thought it was interesting to hear from Cristiana Tiberio that she prefers to drink these wines young to properly enjoy the framing tannins that soften a bit too much over time. That said, you could easily cellar this for a number of years. PS: The vibrant color comes from all free-run juice.
WE9090 pts. - Wine Enthusiast - 3/1/2021 A pleasing mix of wild cherry and blackberry melds with freshly chopped mint and alpine herbs on the nose. There’s tension, grip and juiciness to the berry fruit on the palate, with smoothed tannins and fresh acidity lending support. A gentle tug of berry skins lingers on the close, making this a fresh, savory expression of the variety.
