Delicious Nebbiolo at the front end of its drinking window. Medium bodied with red fruits, some cedar notes, and just the right amount of acidity and tannins to provide lift and structure. Clean and palate cleansing on the finish.

Sweet jesus, that's delicious. Ripe, red fruit, rich in texture, tannin already integrated, long finish.

Red fruits, sleek tannins, framing acidity, and a pleasant cinnamon note in the finish. I really like this Nebbiolo.
