A simple wine that was pretty good right out of the bottle. Nice cherry fruit, slight dry earth. Lots of good acid, firm but approachable tannin. Worked well with our sandwiches we had for lunch. This was a nice bottle of wine for the price.

A: Clear, medium garnet with a lighter rim N: Roses, lavender, chocolate covered cherries, a hint of black licorice - incredibly pronounced & beautiful floral quality P: Palate greatly reflects nose - dusty med tannins, medium alc, medium body, med/med + acid - somewhat tight on the pop and pour but I think it will open up nicely in an hour or so.

A fairly herby interpretation of nebbiolo. Tight and tense. Smokey, complex, tight. Young. Definately something in there. In fact, the reference I would associate with here is burgundian. The tannin comes through. this will be interesting in a year or two.

Still tightly wound and tannic. Unbelievably tight presentation of Nebbiolo. Don’t think this will ever go anywhere.
