The flavor profile is kind of like Cab Franc, with notes of dehydrated strawberry (like Special K red berries), mushroom, and a kiss of oak. Medium bodied. Wonderful acid, and still had some tannins. — 4 years ago

Smokey chicken on the Green Egg and a 10yr old Rioja. This wine is big; everywhere. It needs time. But I’m 10 years it will be a-mazing. Terrific now. — 5 years ago

Joven wine - and organic 😬 - but really good representation of RDD. A deft use of oak brings this home. — 7 years ago

Black rye crisp, sesame, dried rose petal, dried, deep lavender, subtle aspects of cinnamon, Connecticut leaf tobacco, and a loamy till after a burn. These are the undulating aromas. Velvet and seductive tannins perfectly integrate into the medium silk mouthfeel. Tar and tobacco, black plum, graphite, black olive, espresso, cinnamon and roses. #barbaresco #nebbiololover #nebbiolo #piemonte #piedmont #Traversa #TraversaGiuseppe #nebbiololover #queenbarb — 7 years ago

9.1

Red and dark berries on the nose. Along with a dark tea and some earthiness.

On the palate tart fruit quickly giving way to spice. Then the tannins start to grip and introduce some savory notes.

Finish is a bit bitter but in a way that is inviting more food/drink.

Exceeded my expectations. — 2 years ago
