Drinking great right now although this one seems like it go many more years in the cellar. It was the hit of the night and well with a rustic, Italian, slow braised pork dish. Blind I might have thought it was about a 6 year old pinot, delicious.

For the money, this was a home run. Strawberry and some raspberry with well integrated sweet tannins. Blind, I could have guessed Pinot. The extra bottle age made this a great food wine.

Pretty darn good US nebbiolo. Sweet strawberries and sweet cranberries, licorice, with significant tannins and a fairly sweet finish. Will last longer in cellar, but the fruit is very distinct now.

I had so been looking forward to drinking this. A bottle accident destroyed the bottle.

Not quite as interesting as the last one. More one dimensional. Fruits were a little less prominent. No tannins to speak of.

About 30 minutes after I poured it, the tannins settled down and it drank beautifully.

Central Coast Trip: Light ruby. A little dumb, with tart cherry and rose. Acid-driven structure supports an otherwise lean frame.

I get a real strong waxy aroma, overpowering the next aroma of alcohol. Strong tannins. slight minty taste, followed by hints of berries.
