Very apple-y. A bit less than dry but not syrupy sweet. Refreshing and fresh. Nicely done. — 11 years ago

Comm. G.B. Burlotto

Vigneto Monvigliero Barolo Nebbiolo 2006

Beautiful and there's no Barolo like it. Pretty accessible for the first couple of hours and then it clenched down hard. The aromatics are gorgeous and there is a wonderful clarity and purity to the wine. Wine of the night. — 12 years ago

Silver Oak

Alexander Valley Cabernet Sauvignon 2008

Classic tannins, fruity and one of my favorite Napa Cabs. Hard to get a good buy on this wine as its a popular label. Truly enjoyable and easy to drink. — 11 years ago
