Beautiful wine, terrific aromas of cherry and spice. Very bright, significant tannins. Yum.

Cedar, tobacco, red stone fruit, some subtly warming spice, anise, hint of green herb (oregano?). Fresh acidic punchiness.

This is a very seductive Barbera, after I finished Giacomo Conterno, this is a relief of pure pleasure❤️

Who says Eureka's not classy? Found this gem at Brick & Fire, tobacco, floral notes of rose peddle, subtle oak -nutmeg, vanilla, white pepper all on the nose.. Smooth ..forest floor, damp, tart cherry finish on the mouth...complex and still evolving... Delicious!!

Disregard the label. This is actually a 2016 barrel sample and foreshadows and incredible vintage in Alba!

Plum, mulberry nose. More red fruit on palate. Lifted and gorgeous fruit and delicately spiced. This is good.

Med plus body, med plus acidity(toned down bit), moderate tannin, juicy dense structure with hint of olive scent on the finish. Quite strong barbera.
