Sweet, unctuous rose petals brimming with the heat of a tannery.

Juicy, rosy, fruit forward fam, chew on the mid palate extends and brings out a slight cinnamon spice to round out the drinking experience.

Beautiful red rose leather bouquet. Will the bouquet last as long as the 3 year roses? Nah, but it’s enticing for a night.

Warming, perfect for 30 degree freezing weather. Nestled by Christmas lights and Downtown Abbey (somehow I’ve garnered a liking for this show).

A velvet tipped tome this red tells the story of not being too ambitious. It knows it’s place and value. It isn’t too much of anything. Fruit, tannins, acidity all muted but there, nonetheless. That just leaves the roses which is just fine with me.

Slight downgrade from prior. Less complexity but probably right on for a run of the mill Neb. Good with gnocchi al tartufo.

Looks a little lighter. Tastes cherry. Flinty. Tannins grow but not spicy. Herbs. Tangy. Aromatic. Acid.

Not sure what the last reviewer was drinking, but at this price point, this is delicious. Highly recommend... you know all the notes of a Nebbiolo... they are all here. A baby Nebbiolo!

It’s fine. A bit harsh and alcohol

For $16, damn straight I'd drink this again.
