Pale youthful ruby color; nose has moderate to high intensity red cherry and strawberry fruit, possibly slight stem inclusion but not much; palate is light bodied but moderate tannins, masculine and slightly gritty, exclent fruit throughout. Great wine that needs plenty of time. 90-92 Update: 1 hour of air: excellent body and has now fleshed out more fruit. Seems pretty clean and interesting but with a lot more depth waiting to be released. Consistent with pommard character.
Pale yellow-gold; slight minerals, white peachy fruit, moderately aromatic; palate is medium plus acid, excellent balanced acidity, great balance of white fruit but dry; finish is medium-long. Very, very good. 90-92
Deep ruby-purple color; black cherry, moderate-plus aromatics, slight spice, slight green, moderate complexity; palate is medium bodied, medium acid, plenty of fresh red fruit; short finish. Very nice with food and a good balance, complex for barbera but simpler compared to other wines. 87-88

On a plane. Slight yeast; palate is medium bodied, refreshing but with some yeast, toast, slight bitterness. Nice for a place, otherwise mediocre. 83
