Very tasty Barbera with some tanins, but not overwhelming. Had it with pasta and this worked very well. Usually not a big fan of Barbera, but this one stands out. — a year ago
Montevertine's Pian del Ciampolo blend is 90% Sangiovese, rest with equal amounts of Canaiolo and Colorino, deep Ruby with purple hues, aromas of red fruits, floral, herbs and smoky oak. On the palate flavors of cherry and currants with dried herb notes, cacao and tobacco notes. Fine ripe sweet tannins, long finish ending with fruit and an earthy herb spice character. Nice! — 7 months ago
Dark red fruit, mocha and graphite. — 8 months ago
Nov 2025: fruity and with noticeable oak (well integrated), nice nose, very good aged barbera, still has potential for cellaring a few years — 10 months ago

I usually don’t bother to report on the cork, but the cork in this bottle was stained a deep purple – almost black. I sniffed it and the intensity of its bouquet told me that this wine would be luscious. Herbal (sage & oregano) with a hint of rich umami solidity (almost like bacon). All from a cork! In a glass, the nose is less intense. Oregano and sage dominate. The “meatiness” of cork scent fades way back. Fruit forward without being syrupy — black cherries. Medium tannic structure, with hints of dark chocolate at the lower end of the spectrum balanced by a pleasing earthy minerality in the high notes. Unfortunately, the finish fades quickly. If this wine had a long finished, I’d probably give it at 9.8, but as it is a 9.5 will have to suffice. — 2 months ago
Excellent. I am slightly partial to Tor’s Torchiana, but this great. Meyer lemon, brioche, guava, apricot, vanilla, and almonds. — 7 months ago
A good wine but I was expecting more. Hopefully the next bottle will be more to my expectation. — 8 months ago

This is a gorgeous Cabernet Sauvignon from Napa Valley. Rich and extracted, fruit forward and elegant. Complex, well balanced and entertaining. A beautiful wine.
This Single Vineyard Cabernet Sauvignon is starting to drink at its peak now, and will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years. Has good potential to become a 96 point wine.
Good right out of the bottle and better after 90 minutes of airtime.
Robert Parker 94 points.
Good by itself as a sipping wine or with food.
Grapes were aged in new French oak barrels for 18 months. A small production of only 2,700 bottles.
15.1% alcohol by volume.
