Deep, and quite dense, brick color. Layered nose of tar, dirty strawberries, orange zest, caramel and spice, with some savory notes. Medium+ body, medium+ acidity, and absolutely bone dry tannins. Lots of tart strawberries and earthy minerality on the palate. Long finish of sweet tobacco. Hold onto this for a few more years - lots of potential. (Range 91-92)

Pale garnet leaning toward brick. Forward nose with tart strawberries, orange skin, char, and some floral notes. Medium body, high acidity, and fairly high tannin balanced with sweet cranberries and spice. Long leathery finish showing noticeably high alcohol, but not harsh. Simple, yet well-rounded Nebbiolo for the price.

Pale garnet with an orangish hue. Cranberries, crushed tomatoes, some spice, and violet on the nose. Juicy sweet red fruits with medium acidity and a cooling edge. Medium+ finish with steamed fruits and herb. Lacks Burgundian character, but refreshing. Quite nice for the price.
