Rubizzo is a fantastic value wine that is simple and concrete but also bright, cheerful and fruit-forward. The cherry tones are plump and mature and the wine feels softly round on the close.

A touch neutral on the nose, but overall this is a nice, minerally, grassy SB with lots of green apple and freshness. The palate offers depth and clarity, and the flavors of green fruits are good. Fa…

Soft, ripe fruit, already accessible. This has a generous feel and flavors of berries and red plums. Not a wine for aging, but very attractive.
Fine, fresh white Bordeaux from this Entre-deux-Mers property. A blend of Sauvignon Blanc and Sémillon, just touched by wood, with spice and melon flavors brightened by citrus.
