"The 2020 Taurasi Andrea announces itself from a foot away, as a burst of musky blackberries, sage and flowery underbrush rushes up from the glass. The palate is surprisingly juicy, with liquid violet tones and depths of tart wild berry fruits riding a stream of zesty acidity. This tapers off wickedly fresh, as the mouth waters for more and subtly grippy tannins mingle with a tinge of sour citrus. The 2020 should evolve well over the medium term yet already comes across as deceptively accessible."

"The 2019 Taurasi Vigna Andrea seduces the senses with sweet exotic spice and cedar shavings, giving way to medicinal blackberries and cherries. It,s silky smooth and polished within. Vibrant acidity guides its ripe wild berry fruit as fine tannins slowly mount toward the close. The 2019 finishes lightly structured with lingering candied sweetness, tactile mineral tones and blood orange hints. The 2019 is deceptively approachable today, yet beautifully balanced for a long and prosperous evolution."

"A distinctive red, with a rich note of fresh loamy earth and hints of dark chocolate and sage, layered with dried raspberry, blackberry coulis and macerated black cherry flavors. Reveals a savory, sanguine edge that reins in the rich fruit flavors, as does a frame of bright orange peel acidity. Offers taut, chalky tannins that firm the finish. Let this open in the glass or decant. Best from 2025 through 2030. 330 cases made, 75 cases imported"
