Wine Spectator

Lush and fruity, featuring plum, cherry, strawberry and iron aromas and flavors. Bright acidity and dense tannins form the structure as this plays out on the long finish. The excellent youthful balance shows promise for the future. Best from 2023 through 2040. 800 cases made, 100 cases imported. — BS

Wine Enthusiast

Firmly structured, this opens with aromas of underbrush, exotic spice and whiffs of eucalyptus oil. The firm palate evokes black-cherry extract, orange zest, licorice and tobacco set against assertive, close-grained tannins that leave a rather austere, drying finish. Give it time to fully unwind. Drink 2023–2032. – Kerin O'Keefe

Vinous

Full ruby-red. Deep aromas of medicinal dark fruits are lifted by a lovely violet topnote. Full, rich and ripe, with seamless red cherry, blueberry and mineral flavors give a firm edge by a whisper of licorice and herbs. Finishes with good breadth and very fine tannins. This is excellent. - Ian D'Agata

James Suckling

A mix of cherry, plum, leather, rosemary, iron and tobacco flavors ply the sleek profile of this balanced red, which has good grip and a lingering savory aftertaste. Best from 2024 through 2045. 150 cases imported. –BS

Falstaff

San Polo's Podernovi vineyard is a 3ha southeast-facing parcel with mineral-rich marly soil. The grapes were harvested at the beginning of October and the wine aged in lightly toasted 40-hectolitre casks. This comes across as more oak-driven than its sibling, with wood spice and sweet vanilla coating soft, round, layered fruit. Though the tannins are still rather chewy, the flavours are already relatively evolved, suggesting this will give the most pleasure over the next few years.
