"The highly unorthodox quintet that issues from two dozen (mostly Italianate) cépages
(largely in field blends!) on six acres set just back from the main drag of tiny Avondale...
is worth a detour; and Vietri is passionate, experimental, articulate, and focused on
vineyard excellence. Whether his orange "white" La Prima Donna; his deep rosé Silk;
Cinderbox; Cedar; or Mahogany... these will cause you to lick your lips as you rethink
many things you thought you knew."
--- David Schildknecht, The Wine Advocate: "Best of 2012".
