Retailer tasting. A blend of 40% each viognier and vermentino with 20% fiano. Aromas of apple, citrus, mineral and honeysuckle. Lemony citrus and mineral with bright underlying acidity.
Retailer tasting. Chardonnay with just a bit (5%) of sauvignon blanc. White fruit with a subtle dirty undertone that I find distracting. Orchard fruit palate. Medium+ finish.
Retailer tasting. Nebbiolo (35%), merlot & barbera (25%) and cab sauv (15%). Strawberry, cranberry and mineral notes. Flavors of red cherry, mineral and spice. Finishes with nice length. 89-90 pts.

Retailer tasting. Cedar, meat and dark berry fruit. Medium- to full-bodied with flavors of cherry, macerated red berries and sandalwood. Good underlying acidity.
Retailer tasting. Very floral and perfumed with cherry and white currants underneath. Firm tannins support cherry, cedar and sandalwood. Long finish with rose water, cherry and spice notes. 92-93 pts.
Retailer tasting. Similar to the 2015 Barbaresco, this is quite floral and elegant, with rose petal, cherry and currants. Currant, cherry and rose water flavors; really well-balanced. Young and firm. 92+ pts.
Retailer tasting. Lovely perfume-elegant florals and orange rind along with red berry fruit. Very bright. Firm tannin. Cherry and red berry fruit, with spice accents on the finish. Excellent, just incredibly young.
