Devlon Moore Likes this wine:
June 11, 2023 - An impossibly good wine. Such good balance between vertical structure and grip and horizontal fruit depth with stunning deep purple color. You can hold it for a few more years but it’s in a pretty damn good spot so I would drink it and if you can find it for under $25.00 buy it. Buy it all.

Potential. -

March 4, 2023 - Cant really make peace with barbera as a grape. It rarely do it for me. Cant put a finger on the issue but maybe its just the unjustified compasion to nebbiolo.
This was a little fizzy and a bit alcoholic. Didnt take notes though. -

April 17, 2022 - Does not require decanting, a good spaghetti wine. Fruit forward and a little raisin on the finish. Not hot.
