12/17/2015 - Socrates Likes this wine: NRWild and branyardy-(like a horse's butt barnyardy), but once you get through the funk there is a beautiful strawberry banana thing going on. Fresh, fruity, juicy and thirst quenching.

However, the sales guy who raved about it (and I have always loved his recommends) said I should give it a try...It's kind of "funky" and pretty different in a good way. It is on the higher price point for my casual mid-week wine choice but I decided to try it...

7/10/2015 - Socrates Likes this wine: 89 pointsSurprisingly complex wine for the money. Nose of smoked meat, broth, tea, stewed raspberries and black cherry with the palate following suit. Juicy and ripe with black tea, smoke, damp leaves, stewed raspberries and black cherry with just a touch of salinity in the finish. The only thing this is really missing is depth of texture and length but for $17... Excellent.

1998 Antonio Vallana e Figlio GattinaraNebbiolo more |
5/6/2015 - Socrates Likes this wine: NRWow. Beautiful Nebbiolo and despite the age, it still had great fruit and structure. The color is deep garnet with just the hint of brick to it. The nose is all Piedmont: sappy cherry, leather, and dried rose and the palate following suit. What's most impressive is the structure of the wine. Dusty tannins are almost completely resolved with just a hint of the classic Nebbiolo bite while the acid is bright and well integrated and provide great lift and vibrancy to the wine. Vallana just released this as a library selection and it's definitely a winner. I'm not sure how much came into the country but if you can find it it's a steal under $40.

I guess I'll see if the 2010 or the 3-years on lees versions are any better, but feeling like I over bought this label and wouldn't do it again.
