Lots of cassis and blue fruits as well as toasted spice, chocolate, and chalky minerality emerge from the glass, and it’s medium to full-bodied, with a great texture, ripe tannins, and a nice mix of freshness and richness.

The Tenuta San Guido 2021 Guidalberto shows tart cherry fruit with darker tones of blackberry and plum. This vintage delivers especially chiseled and focused fruit characteristics that are elegantly framed by light spice, cola and earth.

The 2018 is a gorgeous wine. It is emphasizes fruit density and power, while the savory notes that are typical of this site are nearly buried. Blueberry, tobacco, licorice, smoke, incense and leather open with some coaxing.
90pts Wine Enthusiast
The crisp mineral Chardonnay in this wine is keeping it fresh & still young. With acidity & tight citrus flavors it has a dense texture that dominates the white-stone fruits.
91pts WS
A balanced rosé Champagne, with hints of graphite & dried thyme accenting the juicy cherry & berry fruit flavors. Lively, with orange peel acidity & deep hints of smoke & roasted nut showing on the creamy finish.
