“This 2022 Salvestrin is truly remarkable, given the vintage's challenging heat. It's fresh, inviting, has levity with generosity, fine, silky tannins, elegant red and black berry fruit with minty nuances, notes of sage, and graphite, and blood orange acidity through the fresh and inviting and mineral-scented finish.”
“A trim, well-balanced red with the feel and freshness of a Tuscan wine. Full-bodied but not overly ripe, offering tasty red and black cherries, blueberries, mint and black pepper on medium tannins and lively acidity. Drink now or hold.”
