Dark black cherry and a touch of white pepper to go w a slight vegetal green pepper that dissipated as the wine opened. Tons of wood notes—could literally taste the barrel it was aged in. Nice acidity and light smooth tannins. A beautiful wine thats coming into its drinking window now! — 6 years ago

A wonderful Italian Rosso. Blend that went perfect with pork tenderloin and still great sipping after dinner. And a value at $20. Would be great with pizza as well — 8 years ago

This is an amazing wine and it is one of my favorite ones to bring to dinners. It is robust tannic fairly big and opens very quickly. As a cousin to the zinfandel it shows as it is extremely drinkable despite it's large tannic quality. Elements of black fruit and pepper remind me of both the zinfandel and the Shiraz. Anyone familiar Shirah from the Rhone Valley should definitely give this one a try. The only thing I will say is that I enjoy it with friends and less you can finish the bottle by yourself. It dies fairly quickly. — 9 years ago

Old Nebbiolo nose with sour cherry on palate for first two hours, then rose and red fruit for next hour, then as it was just hitting its stride it was gone - we finished it. Next time need to be more patient, if I’m lucky enough for a next time. Purchased from Walker Wines who has great old Nebbiolo offerings. — 5 years ago
More on the light red side with animal notes. Nice juice — 7 years ago
Actually, 9.2 understates how good this wine was. Complementing a lovely menu, after a stern wine steward had demanded we let it breathe for 45 minutes, we had a wonderful experience. The wine, which had a tannic bite when we tasted an earlier sample, smoothly showed plum, cherry, and just a bit of minerality. We will remember this meal for a long time! — 8 years ago
