Community Tasting Note

Saturday, June 18, 2005 - This bottle was quite improved over the last one six months ago. The rough, tannic edges were gone and the wine was clearly improved. In the glass it was a bit of an enigma as the blend (50% Nebbiolo, 30% Barbera, and 20% Syrah) exhibits some uncommon varietal characteristics. It looked like nebbiolo with a clear ruby color but had a light purple rim (the Barbera). The nose was pure nebbiolo with black cherries but then then an earthiness kicked in. Initially the finish was most typical of syrah but eventually the nebbiolo ruled. In all a very good, unique wine. [~$35 on futures; Decanted 30 minutes and recommended]
