A very distinctively-styled Neb. The nose suggests a very lean wine: cracked stone minerality holds sway over tart, crisp chokecherry scents. A hint of spice. In the mouth, it is lean, but surprisingly weighty and long. Austere in the best sense. Great length, purity, and acidity. Would be absolutely phenomenal with a rich beef tomato and red wine braise. Excellent value. — 8 years ago

2008. Dried roses, chokecherry liquor scents, and I could swear I smell a glacier. I haven't had a Valtellina Nebbiolo this good since the early 80s. Absolute Alpine Nebbiolo perfection. F--- modern Barolo. — 10 years ago

Still bold fruit with strong tannin. Color still bright chokecherry. Lengthy plum finish. Would be excellent with robust foods. We just sipped on its own. — 10 years ago

Traditionally-styled. Very light color. Medium intensity nose of stony gravel, chokecherry and underbrush. Nice flavor intensity but a soft, light mouthfeel. Lingering finish. Was very nice and cleansing with a rich, tomatoey pasta sauce. Was a gift from my brother--thanks Ang.
UPDATE: Night 2 it showed much more intense fruit and flavor intensity. — 9 years ago

Definite taste of chokecherry (you likely have to be from the MT West to know what this is like) with smokey smooth undertones. — 9 years ago

Rich chokecherry syrup nose with an earthy undertone. Dusty cherry, leather, and crushed rocks in the mouth. Fair amount of fine-grained tannin. Nice! — 10 years ago
