Deep color, darker fruits, slight spice; palate is full bodied, medium-plus acidity, balanced alcohol (13.5%), youthful fruit, elegant and balanced; medium length finish. A lovely barbera, less complex than Cappellano’s but very well balanced and elegant. 91
Rose color; high intensity aromatics with orange, wild strawberry; palate is medium bodied, light and refreshing, definitely some funk, nicely sparkling; medium length finish. Nice pet nat. 89-90
Deep ruby-purple; black fruited, peppery, lacking the bacon fat more typical in the Rhône; medium bodied, high acidity, very balanced, youthful fruit, integrated tannins; medium length finish. Nice new world Syrah. 90-91
