This wine plays stereo with your palate. One channel pumps herbs and savory notes while the other drops candied cherries and jam, sweet spices mixing the tracks perfectly. The palate keeps that dual energy, red hot candies meeting fresh potting soil while fine tannins work the soundboard. When two flavors become better than one. Wine Enthusiast | 95 WEThe 2021 Amarone della Valpolicella cascades from the glass with an array of dusty rose, cedar shavings, spiced orange, and dried strawberries. It is opulent in style, with velvety textures and ripe red berry fruits offset by a bitter tinge of clove and sour citrus. A bump of residual acidity maintains freshness as the 2021 leaves edgy tannins to mingle with tart black cherries through the long and structured finale. This wine is expertly balanced, especially considering its 17% ABV. Don’t let that number scare you; it’s a brilliant example of Amarone.Vinous Media | 94+ VMAn overt fruit-forward wine, this has strawberries, plums, sour cherries and sweet spices yet is not too layered. Medium-bodied with juicy acidity, it shows velvety tannins soaked in wild dark fruits and curry powder. Drink or hold.James Suckling | 90 JS
