Bright Ruby red slightly with orange. Leather chocolate nuance. Red tea. Raspberry blueberry cherry. Oak clove nutmeg. Dried herb. Fruitiness M+ Sweetness M Acidity M+ Tannin M Bitterness M Body M Finish M 14.5% Quite elegant! Robust OK to drink unexpectedly. But it also has aging potential.

Hi everyone! This is lovely (rare descriptor for me). Medium red brick color, medium plus body, medium plus alcohol but subtle. Nice acidity, and tannins make this absolutely drinkable right now-- 8/26/25 my 58th birthday, forgot to give everyone my new Miami address for bottled gifts 😜 . Certainly floral notes on both the nose and palate, but not rose, some cedar overtones, with an enjoyable minerality. It's lovely because it all comes together like a beautiful gift basket (pun not intended) that would impress a royal lady, but stand up proud for a gentleman. It will improve, but you don't have to let it!

This is a pleasant nebbiolo that I see pairing well with a lot of pasta dishes. Overall, this wine has very scrumptious red fruit flavors with settled tannins that balance the fresh acidity really well. It’s a translucent, pale red that’s medium bodied with scents of cherry, rose, and leather. Primarily it’s the cherry that comes through on the palette. The fine grained tannins transition to black tea notes and cherry on the finish. The fruit on the finish quickly disappears. — 6 days ago
