Full bodied barbera cab blend. Likely more Cabernet than barbera. Slightly tannic but not overwhelming. 2010 was a great year. Can go another 5 years but don't risk going further. Paired with porchetta, sautéed spinach and aged provolone ravioli by Vera Pasta with sweet tomato gravy. Was great upon opening and held steady throughout. Strongly recommended at $28.99 Total Wines Claymont.

Jun 6th, 2022This bottle came through a fraught ocean passage in 2018, with heat and humidity extremes. It has retained its fruit, structure and more. Lush blackberries, with a tannic kick. A ton of other flavors in there they you can discover. Thrilled that it survived so well.

Aug 5th, 2021Wonderful blend from piedmont, barbera merlot cab and Nebbiolo. I decanted for 2 hrs, med acidity, firm tannins, plum and light berry notes with a long finish.
