92 points Eric Guido (Vinous): "The 2018 Nobile di Montepulciano is pretty and understated in the glass, wafting up with a mix of black currants, savory herbs and worn leather hints. This is round with a balanced inner sweetness, displaying mineral-tinged wild berry fruit and nuances of confectionary spice. The 2018 leaves only a gentle coating of fine tannins while finishing with citrus nuances and a hint of hard red candies. The Avignonesi style lent quite well to this warm and rainy vintage; as a result, they created a very delicate yet likable Nobile. Drink: 2024-2030. (Feb 2023)"

92 points James Suckling: "A juicy, fruity red with aromas of sour cherries, plums, hazelnuts and bay leaves. Medium-bodied with sleek tannins. Elegant and fresh expression of the appellation. From organically grown grapes. Drink or hold. (7/4/22)"

91 points Wine Spectator: "[$25 list] A powerful red, with savory eucalyptus, tobacco and tomato leaf aromas and flavors offset by cherry and plum notes. Beefy tannins set the stage for a lingering, grainy finish. Best from 2024 through 2033. (9/30/22)"
