Good easy sipping neb. White pepper and dry spices, maybe even dried fruit undertones. For the price it’s even better.

Medium red color, not too brickish. Pale, almost. Leathery and dusty on the nose, Dried red cherries on the palate, medium weight. Good acid. Was open for 2 days.

Not expensive, a good deal.

Nebbiolo is my favorite bang for the buck wine, and this offering does not disappoint. Close your eyes and imagine the taste of a yummy Nebbiolo. This is it. Bright cherries, rose pedals, pleasing tannins. It could benefit from a few years aging, but it's hitting the spot today.
Listening to Blur. Seriously? It's been 32 years today since Parklife charted!

Dry and light but flavorful and nice mineral tones.

Tannic at first, mellowed as it opened. Better on day 2. Cherry , but didn’t have that Nebbiolo signature. Pleasant enough for the price, but a little disappointing
