"It’s hard to pull away from the 2017 Ribolla di Oslavia Riserva. It boasts a deep golden color in the glass, while wafting up with nuances of peach preserves, exotic spice and dried flowers. It’s soft yet lifted and cool-toned in feel, with a steady saturation of savory orchard fruits and minerals that builds tension toward the close. This tapers off structured, leaving hints of ginger and baked pear while staying firmly rooted in the savory spectrum. The 2017 is very nice and capable of medium-term cellaring." -Vinous

"From the town of Oslavia in the heart of the Collio appellation comes this bright copper colored wine made with the Ribolla Gialla grape in a traditional manner that truly showcases the orangish color of the skins. (The grape's name Gialla or "yellow" hints at its unique appearance.) The warm-vintage Primosic 2017 Collio Riserva Ribolla di Oslavia opens to an intriguing and complicated bouquet with elements of ripe apricot, honey-roasted nut, caramel and cinnamon. The effect is entirely smooth and silky, making the mouthfeel of this special wine its most remarkable feature. There is some tannic bite, but the wine's structure is entirely integrated and tucked in tight. This release of about 5,500 bottles is another cellar-worthy white." -Robert Parker
