Gorgeous wine. Nose is divine mid season cherries, tobacco, cigar box, leather, spices and roses. It’s a bit cold but still so expressive. Wilted cherries, dried and fresh roses, cherry flower and so much more. Palate is so elegant and refined with super pure cherry fruit and a long finish. Unreal juiciness and sap. Big tannins that need to calm down but they are ripe and very fine. Terrific body and intensity. This is so good. Wow.

2017 vintage. Tasted with the winemaker. Slightly too smooth with this blend of three vinyards. Medium body. Some grip but slightly less than you'd expect. Pretty. Harmonious. Together and with it. No rush to crush. 03.19.25.

Nose: so elegantly floral. So nebbiolo. Deep.

Palate: so silky. Elegant. Supple early season cherry. Still fresh but has integrates perfectly.
