Just the right amount of everything (earth fruit and tobacco) so you can push through the time change and go to bed at the right time.

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. — 3 years ago

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

9.1

Very tasty. Sweet roses, vanilla, baked bread, and very ripe red fruit. I’d drink this daily...as long as it pairs well to food. I’m curious how this will develop with age. — 5 years ago

Named after family’s original parcel, “Locartas” is a highly expressive ambassador for the Güímar valley’s distinctive volcanic sands. The blend comprises eight individual parcels throughout the valley, planted nearly entirely to Listán Blanco (with 2-3% Albillo Criollo). Vinified in stainless steel and aged for six months in 90% steel and 10% French oak. Medium lemon color, aromas of fruits and nutty notes. Flavors of ripe apple and apricot, medium+ finish ending with fruit and savory salinity character. — a year ago

Absolutely wonderful. Nice vanilla bourbon on the nose. A gentle and easy sip while still feeling aged. Fruity as well. So wonderful. Great with Unami & Dijon Turkey burgers! — 5 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
