  Showing a brilliant ruby red with a garnet core in the glass. On the nose there are beautiful floral notes followed by earth and and ripe red fruit. In the mouth firm tannins are followed by sour cherry and cranberry that are supported by bright acidity with a gripping dry finish.

  This wine smells of a young Cote de Nuits with scents of fresh tilled earth, roses, raspberries, baker's chocolate and tar. The wine is a deep ruby, almost amythist in color. I really need to say again that this wine really reminds me of a young Burgundy. In the mouth the vibrant acidity peaks and ebbs into flavors of sour cherry, cranberries, and an almost sourpatch kid style of tartness at the tail end. A lovely Nebbiolo that is approachable now and will only get better over the next 2-5 years.
