More in alignment with WS review: “Cherry, raspberry, violet and mineral aromas and flavors mark this perfumed red. Racy and elegant, with defining acidity. Persistent finish. Drink now through 2028. 3,300 cases made, 1,000 cases imported.” — Bruce Sanderson… Versus WE: “Like a garden at twilight, this Barbera lifts with violets and lavender before diving into a pool of plums and boysenberries, kissed by fresh herbs. The palate mirrors this purple-fruited dance with juicy precision. Give it a slight chill and watch it become the life of the party.” — Jeff Porter. — 9 months ago

Marghe Nebbiolo d'Alba 2010

This wine was never I commend it to stretch nine years, but it was very satisfying and still offered that beautiful aged Barolo feel – in both texture and in floral/verbal nuance! For probably $16, I count this is a real bargain and fun experience for our Ginger teriyaki salmon pairing :) — 7 years ago

Valmaggione Nebbiolo d'Alba 2016

Very clear and transparent. Lovely wild strawberry and liquorice palate, plenty of power such that it could almost pass as a barolo, but not drying. 14%. Really very good. — 6 years ago
