- Score: 86 Vintage 2022 Vinous Media The 2022 Pinot Grigio-Catarratto is dusty and sweet, displaying confectionary sugar and spice. It's round and supple with ripe apple and melon contrasted by a saline-tinged acidity. This finishes with a chewy concentration yet short. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 90 Vintage 2021 Wine Enthusiast The nose on this organic and vegan Catarratto-Pinot Grigio blend has aromas of peaches, nectarines and pink grapefruit pushing up against savory notes of freshly poured cement, rubber balls and pencil shavings. The palate is juicy with lemons, limes and more stone fruits. Shelf Talker Full Page Review
- Score: 87 Vintage 2021 Vinous Media The 2021 Pinot Grigio-Catarratto is spicy and herbal from the first tilt of the glass. This flows across the palate with a salty mix of green apple and melon, taking on a ginger tinge toward the close. The 2021 finishes on a mineral note, yet relatively fresh.

- Score: 87 Vintage 2019 Vinous Media The 2019 Pinot Grigio-Catarratto is subtly sweet, showing apples and pears complemented by lime zest. It’s silky in feel and round with ripe orchard fruits and pretty inner florals. While it’s a bit extroverted in nature, balance is maintained as the 2019 finishes clean and refreshing.
