Meaty, fruity, lip-smacking and pretty long on the palate. I’m holding my second bottle hopefully another few years but this is in a great place right now

Significant Bret. Texturally there is a metallic, almost petillant feel. Tannins are extremely well integrated and the wine, as a whole, is exceedingly balanced.

Wet vintage which gave great acidity to the Trebbiano and produced a super interesting Montepulciano- sour cherries, soft tannins and great acidity. burgundy like. Would go great with a rare breast of duck .
