Red fruit - cherries and raspberries. Cedar is prominent. Damp soil, underlying truffle, dried thyme. Smooth, soft tannin and very dry. Good pair with tonights sautéed mushrooms.

Old world meets new world. Mostly Nebbiolo, with rose petal laced perfume, and bright, ripe, red fruits. Raspberry, cherry, iron rich dust, leather, dried thyme, and the unmistakable earthiness of mushrooms. A very young wine with nearly zero bottle time, so seek this out to cellar, or enjoy it now!

Great! Super approachable red, but with enough weight and balance that it stood up to a curry dinner. Red fruit upfront, and then some complexity at the back. Short to medium finish.

A wonderful, easy drinking and sturdy Italian red: Punchy in the first nose elements that belies a well structured and complex red. Full flavored with some mature red fruit, stone and a crisp finish. Good glass!

Sep 15th, 2020This wine is almost a dessert wine due to sweetness. It has good flavor and a balanced acidity.
