Pure and nicely defined, with a lilting core of cassis, cherry and plum notes that stream through, keeping touches of tobacco, ink and warm paving stone tucked in the background. The fresh finish is nicely knit, with a subtle iron twang at the very end. Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot. Best from 2027 through 2038.

Pleasantly plump and up front in persona, with a pure beam of cassis and cherry puree flanked with subtle tobacco and singed cedar notes. Fresh in finish and ready to go. Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Drink now through 2031.

The 2024 Sauvignon is spicy from the first tilt of the glass as exotic citrus and melon tones mix with dusty sage and spice. It's soft and supple, with mineral-laced orchard fruits offset by a candied citrus tinge toward the close. The finish is incredibly fresh and perfumed, leaving nuances of basil and a salty resonance that lingers long. This beautiful Sauvignon impresses with its grace and refinement.

The 2024 Friulano opens with crushed yellow apples, peaches, white smoke and sage in the glass. It is silken and pliant on the palate, with a pretty inner sweetness and ripe pit fruits offset by a subtle tropical inflection of green melon toward the close. It tapers off with a sour citrus twang that forces the senses to salivate as a saline note lingers.

Decidedly savory, the 2023 Illivio mixes rosemary, caraway seed, tomato leaf and peach to create its beguiling bouquet. It is silky-smooth, with ripe melon tones and a cascade of exotic spices that swirl throughout the palate. The 2023 finishes with lovely length, delicate and refined yet structured. Exotic and quite unique, the Illivio is a blend of Pinot Bianco, Chardonnay and Picolit.
