  November 7, 2009 - Took 45 min to really open up, but after that was quite nice. Dry on the finish with lively fruit on the palate.

  July 6, 2009 - Blend of rouche 70%, barbera 20%, and syrah 10% - made in Piemonte and imported by Bonny Doon. Hints of roses and violets followed by red and black berries. Palate shows black berries with some dark bittersweet chocolate, followed by earthy sweet tannins. Finishes with berries and a lingering floral element. Not as floral and complex as I remember a year ago where I described the floral aspect as a "sideways funk". Not nearly as interesting as last year. Still good but not as much fun.

  February 12, 2009 - Interesting wine, a bit closed at present, but it opens up with air. Aromas of white flowers and plums. Pomegranate and cherry palate, with a juicy and spicy aftertaste. Lots of acidity from the Ruche and Barbera. A blend of Ruche, Barbera, and Syrah. Very good QPR on a wine imported by Bonny Doon but made by the Piedmontese winemaker Luca Ferraris.

  January 19, 2009 - Nicely perfumed nose of earth, spring flowers, and dark fruits. The medium bodied palate brings a little damp earth, ripe plums, sweet raisens, licorice and hints of caramel. Flattens a little in the mid palate it does end up finishing long and rich. Would recommend.
