Good balance. Much better served cool. More blackberries than rubber. Less soft, more pure than the Barbera Superiore.

Was hoping for something a bit gamier but this was all clean lines and smooth blueberries.

I refer to their Barolos as ready to drink restaurant Barolo, great value that doesn't need the age as most Barolos do, but this is not that. This wine is good, a little unbalanced and needs to breathe to enjoy.

Berry and cherry nose. Earthy and full flavored, nice balance.

Paired very well with a pumpkin ravioli dish from Clydes Willow Creek Farm restaurant in Ashburn, VA.

OK daily drinker for pizza and pasta. Young and flirting with bit residual sugar and super ripe fruit. Holds together though and carries the 14° w/o problems. Better in day 2
