Undoubtedly, this wine was better 3-5 years ago. Aging has not been especially kind to it and it reflects in the thin, somewhat harsh palette of a wine that has lost its legs literally and figuratively. Gattinara is usually one of my favorite wines and have consumed my share over the years so know what to expect and this ain’t it. — 5 days ago

Very good Montelpuciano especially with my veal scallopini and porcini mushrooms. Still young but very flavorful and fresh with cherry and red fruit flavors going on. Good Italian food wine at a reasonable price. — 8 months ago

Mediocre at best. Very disappointing Pinot especially at the price point and region reputation. Hopefully never drink it again. — 9 months ago

Disappointing. Having visited this winery and tasting several of their offerings, this one is a disappointment especially as compared to their lesser rated wines. No depth. The finish is thin and does not linger as it should for a Gran Selezione Chianti Classico. The nose is there as are the first few sips but as the wine sits in the glass, it seems to actually dissipate any further flavors. Oh well. I still like other Le Cinciole wines. — 10 months ago

Absolutely horrible! I am having to cut back on alcohol for health reasons and to prevent interactions with my medications but this stuff is undrinkable! It doesn’t even come close to resembling wine and it’s one of the highest rated non alcohol products available! I can’t even imagine how bad the other brands must be!! Never again!

What a lovely wine! The nose is a bit deceiving of what is coming upon the first sip and it just keeps getting better! Extremely smooth and the full flavors seem to be delayed and then just swell at the back of the throat and on the tongue. This is Tuscan wine that is truly “super Tucsan”! No wonder it has a solid 93 points across the board! — 8 months ago

Yes! Oh, yes! I think I have a new favorite Cali favorite Merlot! The fruit just jumps out of the bottle upon corking and continues on the nose and into the mouth! Lucious, yummy fruit and even some mild tannins which prolong the taste long afterwards! This is great Merlot for just drinking or with food from steaks and grilled pork or mushrooms and grilled vegetables! Crusty bread and cheese of any sort! Delicious!! — 9 months ago

So much for the non alcoholic wine experience! Another highly recommended but absolutely awful attempt at non alcoholic wine! There’s absolutely no resemblance whatsoever to real wine other than color and even that is off. Sour, sweet, grape juice like but not even as good as bottled grape juice. Obviously, NA wine has a long way to go! — 2 months ago

This is excellent Pinot Noir that is absolutely true to the grape and the region in which it is produced. For a lesser price Oregon Pinot, this absolutely competes with many of the more expensive and well known producers products. Classic Pinot Noir nose, body and flavors with predominant cherry raspberry coming through nicely and even the color is right. Definitely better than most anything from California. I would definitely recommend and buy again! — 8 months ago

Now this is Pinot Noir the way it was meant to be! Floral, more subtle and less in your face like Meomi or Belle Glos. The nose is shy upon opening but after a couple of decanter days, it’s really come alive! Excellent with pork or salmon and turkey, it’s great for sipping or pairing. The mouthfeel is excellent and the flavors linger long after your last sip. Never thought California Pinot could be so authentic tasting. — 9 months ago
