I appreciate what they are doing, making wines that age at an excellent price. The wines however, are just not to my taste. There is a nose that the wines all have in common that doesn't appeal to me. I did enjoy the 04 cabernet, however. The facility is spartan, which is fine by me, but there were a few too many flies in February. Marc is an excellent host. I will give them a try again sometime in the future. I would encourage everyone to check it out; the operation is unique to any winery I have ever visited.

If you are looking for a big gate, gift shop and a spot to lounge, this is not the place. If you are looking for top notch wine that compares with none, at an exceptional value, this is it! $14 a bottle, but worth well beyond. Unfined and unfiltered wines, all reds. Best value!!!!!!!

Something Different
vcgeno, Scottsdale
No matter how nice all of our wine tasting trips fall in to a routine where there is a certain sameness to the experience. Not so hear. Out in the middle of nowhere you drive up to not so pretty building open a small door and walk into a fairly stark warehouse/tasting room. Not an ounce of pretentiousness here which is refreshing. And then you tast the wine and you realize all that other stuff does not matter. They produce some unique Italian varietals not found other places and the there lack of over processing gives their wines a unique flavor that we enjoyed more. We did a double take when they told us all the wines were only ($12 of $14 we don't remember) which makes this an incredible value. Well worth the trip but make sure you visit other places before stopping here because the difference is part of the experience.

Barrel room tasting bar

Our last stop on a five day tasting trip, Marc was on hand to pour the wines. At $12 a bottle across the board and organic estate grown wines this should be listed as a super value. Marc is very knowledgeable and answered all our questions. I joined the wine club and purchased the Sangiovese and the Nebbiolo. This is a no frills place and you are basically in the barrel room tasting the wines, my wife and I enjoyed this.
