excellent wine and an outstanding value! dark ruby in color lightening a bit on the rim. very aromatic with notes of rose petal, Cherry, fresh bay leaf & wild mushroom. palate shows high acids along with moderate grippy tannins and a long dry finish. I don't really like scoring wines with a number anymore, but i feel that this one is worthy of a high score! get out there and try this if you are a fan of nebbiolo.

bright crystal clear, ruby red in the glass. highly aromatic with notes of rose petal, cherry, white pepper & mushroom on the nose. high acid attack on the palate combined with astringent and slightly green tannins. cool climate nebbiolo all the way. intriguing wine that is very charming. it might appeal to a pinot lover...this wine is a MUST if you want to taste a pure, unadulterated nebbiolo based wine. great value to boot.
