Love the sinew and edge this has, firm tannin and elevated acidity let you know you are at elevation. Crisp black fruit, currant and wild berry, plum skin, bitter orange, minerals, cardamom, juniper and iron. Will go for some time given how wound it is

True Biale wine...pronounced Moon Mountain fruit without question. Strong and dense as you would expect from Biale/Moon Mt. Black raspberry, hints of molasses and pepper on the mid palette. Finishing with a zingy cherry, mocha and baking spice. Recommend another year in the bottle.

Doesn't feel like 15.8 to me. Ripe blackberry, blueberry, black pepper, lingering finish w light heat. #monterosso

Guilty pleasure, black fruit driven jammy yet nice acidity. Perfect for the top sirloin tonight indeed!

Spicy, peppery tones, lighter body but great complex layered and persistent finish.....

Cocoa powder and cherry. Five years in and it's drinking beautifully.

First time experience with Biale. Extreme elegance and approachability. Love the texture and fruit. Tannins were light and incorporated, consistent with the rest of its style.

Great expression of Zin. Ripe fruit but balanced and bright. A serious wine with some tannin, great body and class.
