Rose petals and orange rinds with a touch of cranberry and strawberries for fruit.
Delicious, floral, aromatic, tart, with a touch of dry sweet fruit.
Fun wine. Drink now and within a couple of years.

2004 Bruno Giacosa Barbera d'Alba

This wine is an utter revelation. I had no idea a Barbera D’Alba could age and blossom like this.
Dark fruits, herbs, and root beer greet the nose, but the wine continues to morph and change over time. The fresh complexity of the nose doesn’t prepare one for the magnificence of the palate.
Seamless in its presentation, like a red carpet rolls out and is strewn with the freshest rose petals for the vibrant flavors to slowly unfurl. There are juicy black currants, tart boysenberries, fresh tarragon- but more like tarragon infused water, a hint of tea, spicy chevril, and a little touch of citrus rind. This wine is fresh and vibrant with mouthwatering acidity and the finest of velvety tannins.
I feel like I’ve missed the boat on buying these throughout the years. I wish I had a cellar full of back vintages.

2010 Colene Clemens Pinot Noir Estate Reserve

PnP at restaurant- had over 2 hours in a Bordeaux glass. Very overt aromatically with rich red and blue fruits at the forefront. Very generous on the palate, fruit first, a little herbal afterwards, fair acid throughout keeping it from being jammy. Really in a nice place at the moment, little in the way of tertiary development yet.
Drink or hold for further development as your palate prefers.
