Ponpon Savazzoni
Bracing and easy-drinking wine that shines on a hot day, its nuanced strawberry and earthy layers complementing its dry and soft acidity. The touch of wet limestone adds depth, in contrast a slight sweetness on the mouthfeel is a pleasant surprise. A outstanding elite for casual gatherings or everyday sipping.
Tahvi
A very cool and smooth wine. The trail is distinctly long and satisfying, with a deep plum and coffee character that lasts pleasantly. The color is a deep, robust red, and the overall mark is one of exceptional integration and harmony. I am eagerly anticipating the next bottle.
Jendrix
Vibrant and fruity summer wine that pairs just right with a casual gathering, matched by the simplicity of flatbread and a selection of olives.

Monte Rio Cellars Mission is praised for its vibrant strawberry and earthy layers, with a touch of wet limestone and a smooth, light tannin profile. While some find it refreshing and perfect for warm weather, others note a lackluster finish. The wine features a deep plum and coffee character, with a hint of sweetness and a long, satisfying trail. It pairs well with casual gatherings and summer evenings.
A luminous garnet hue introduces this intriguing expression of Mission, offering a bouquet of red currant, wild strawberry, and subtle herbal undertones. The palate is light-bodied yet vibrant, with a delicate interplay of tart cherry and cranberry, underscored by a whisper of dried herbs. Its bright acidity and fine-grained tannins provide a refreshing structure, leading to a clean, mineral-infused finish. This wine exemplifies the varietal's historic charm and versatility, making it a compelling choice for those seeking a nuanced, terroir-driven experience. Ideal for immediate enjoyment, it pairs beautifully with rustic Mediterranean fare.
