Via Romano 2017 Pinot Grigio (Sierra Foothills); 90 POINTS

"Rich fig and almond flavors follow a floral aroma in this full-bodied and mouth-filling wine. Melon, mineral and consommé notes add complexity while the generous texture coats the tongue and creates a lingering finish." —Jim Gordon

Via Romano 2015 Barbera (El Dorado County); 91 POINTS

"This is a really well-made, flavorful and nicely balanced wine from a new winery that's doing exciting things. It's full bodied, moderately tannic and moderately acidic which is typical of the varietal, but backed by wonderful ripe black-cherry, black-olive and black-pepper flavors." —Jim Gordon

Via Romano 2016 Vermentino (Sierra Foothills); 90POINTS

"This is a richly textured and well-concentrated wine that brings a lot of substance to each sip. It combines savory herb and mineral flavors with mild fruity notes and a hint of fennel, all carried by a smooth and broad texture."—Jim Gordon

Via Romano 2017 Fiano (El Dorado); 92 POINTS (Editors’ Choice)

"This multi-faceted wine from a new winery that specializes in Italian grape varieties exudes light floral and almond aromas, then brings ripe fruit, a touch of vanilla and great acidity on the palate. It starts out subtly but builds richness with each sip, ending with a long finish."—Jim Gordon

Via Romano 2015 Moscato di Nero Black Muscat (Sierra Foothills); 92 POINTS

"An amazing floral aroma lights up this supersweet and fortified red wine before vivid, ripe and grapey flavors flood the palate and a good viscous texture coats the sides of the mouth. It's ultrarich, decadent and syrupy."—Jim Gordon
