Fruit and spice and everything nice. Deep, inky coloured wine, nice legs. Aromas of cherries and black fruit. On the palate we have more fruit, along with hits of tobacco and leather. The fruit and spice continues into the finish. Extremely good value and nice with a bit of age on the bottle.

Everything one could ask for in a Riesling. Easy to pair with food, this can also be enjoyed alone as a patio sipper. Elegant and 'apple-y' describes this wine best. Sweeter but not too sweet.Unlike another earlier vintage of this same wine, this was nicely drinkable after two years.

This was just okay, nothing outstanding. My first time trying Barbera and I guess I expected to be more wowed. Ordinary Italian wine with emphasis on red fruit and some savory herbs, not much spice. It's grippy and does have some character, however.
