Ruby with red fruit aromas and delicate herb floral scents, aged for 12 months. On the palate flavors of sour cherry & dried berries, cinnamon, licorice, tar and herb notes. Full fine tannins bring fruit to long finish ending with woody earthy mineral character. Wonderful! Great now, will age some! Will go well with pork roast!

Radiant, focused palate. Strength without sacrificing approachability / ten years in, the primary, secondary, and tertiary notes are well aligned

Wow! This was a fantastic wine! Young, as expected but already showing its depth and beauty. The nose of Nebbiolo is always stunning comparatively to other red varietals. It had very inviting notes of rose petals, smokey cedar, nutmeg, and sweet mulling spiced fruits. 15% alcohol, very dense rich in color and weight, exhibiting notes of smoked dates, grilled meat, cloves, sweet cherries, and an everlasting spiced vanilla finish. It'll see some lovely aging for sure, but it was such a surprise hiding behind that bland white label. 2011 was absolutely stunning. Bravo!
