2021 Animo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Jeb Dunnuck, Jeb Dunnuck, April 2025

Based on 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 23% Merlot, it's full-bodied and concentrated on the palate, with a dense, mouth-filling texture and a balanced style. This serious effort will benefit from 4-5 years of bottle age and keep for 15+ years.”

2021 Animo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Jonathan Cristaldi, Decanter, September 2024
“The Animo Vineyard is planted to 6ha of Cabernet Sauvignon vines on rocky, volcanic soils with red streaks of iron between 387 and 411m on Atlas Peak. Animo is the Italian word for 'soul'. The winemakers are Sabrina Massola and Rob Mondavi, Jr., and together, they have blended 77% Cabernet Sauvignon with 23% Merlot, which was aged up to 22 months in 40% new French oak. Deep ruby colour with impressive density and palate-arresting compact, fine-grained tannins layered with intensely chalky minerality. After a few seconds, those powerful Atlas Peak tannins give way to a rush of juicy, crunchy blackberry and black cherry fruits and warm baking spice notes. Quite a powerful and robust wine. Best from 2025.”

2021 Animo Napa Valley Cabernet Sauvignon
Jim Gordon, Wine Enthusiast, April 2024
“CELLAR SELECTION
This big, complex, aromatic and concentrated wine has tons going for it. Alluring cedar shavings, graphite, cinnamon and cocoa fill the aroma while lush, deep blueberries, black cherries and dark chocolate fill the mouth with richness. Fine-grained tannins add great textural support without any astringency. Best from 2025–2035. ”

2021 Donnafugata Sul Vulcano Etna Rosso
Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2024
“A whiff of sweet spice and dusty rose gives way to crushed cherries and cloves as the 2021 Etna Rosso Sul Vulcano blossoms in the glass. This displays textures of pure silk, sweeping across the palate with ripe red fruits guided by vibrant acidity as inner florals cascade throughout. Fine tannins and primary concentration saturate toward the close as the 2021 finishes long. Licorice traces fade through the close. This is a fantastic offering, especially at the price point.”

2020 Donnafugata Fragore
James Suckling, James Suckling, March 2025
“A dark and complex wine with aromas of dark fruit, dark chocolate, licorice and smoke. Full-bodied, it shows density and firm, velvety tannins, with refreshing acidity and a savory finish focused on graphite flavors. It has potential for aging, yet is good to drink now.”
