Wine Advocate 90 "The 2009 Brutus is a Ribolla Gialla aged in second use French oak for 24 months. The first year in oak was with the skins; then it was pressed and aged for an additional 12 months in the same oak. Sourced from 23-year-old vines, this is a so-called "orange wine" with 1,500 bottles
“This 100% varietal wine is a beautiful dark ruby red color with violet hues. This smooth wine has nice pleasant tannins giving the wine a softer pleasant mouth feel and finish. The black cherry and raspberry notes are enjoyable nuances.” ~Winery Notes
