Black fruit- plum, currant and cherry. The herbaceousness is well integrated and not offensive. M acid, body and tannin. A hint of minerality on the palate. Balanced. Would be great paired with food. — 10 years ago

Opened this wine on Saturday to have with a crab cake dinner and it was okay with some citrus notes but seemed a bit closed. Had it again on Thursday evening and it just took off with plenty of lemon, peach and some flowers. The finish had a good dose of acidy which off set the sweet fruitiness. Excellent balance and very enjoyable wine. — 6 years ago

A 15th Century tower flanks Chateau Fuisse, a family home whose history is evidenced by a number of 300 year old artifacts and adornment. From a blend of over 20 vineyards, and about 70% sat on oak for 20 months (25% new), the remaining 30% in stainless steel tanks. Aromas of stone fruits with cedar and floral spice notes. On the palate apple and pear flavors with a citrus oak character. Lingering finish, well balanced but a little forward now, ending fresh and crisp with oaky edge. Needs more time to calm. — 7 years ago

On the nose, dark sour cherries, dates, burnt figs, grilled meats, burnt ambers, liquid smoke & dark dry florals. The core color is dark with garnet edges. The palate is; slightly sour but mostly sweet dark cherries, stewed plum, cooked strawberries, rhubarb, dates, figs, tomatoes, smoke, grilled meats, brewed coffee, light tarry notes, dry crushed rock powder, volcanic minerals, dark rich earth, dusty tannins, dry dark florals, soft chewy leather, nice round acidity with a decent, soft, elegant finish...50-50 fruit & earth. This is the largest co-op producer in Europe with 50 members. They collectively have 250 acres; which is about 1/6 of the total under vine. Photos of; the town of Barbaresco (their tasting room near the tower), Produttori cellar and their tasting bar. No appointment necessary. Close to Gaja and the town has one of the best one star Michelin lunches as well as the best service we've experienced. Just right of Gaja. Good with our Veal Bolognese. — 9 years ago

OMG this was good! The first impression was strong beautiful legs. Next was aroma blend of caramel and vanilla. The first taste is a dark berry blend with blackberry, currant and maybe a little citrus high note. — 10 years ago

Brings back fond memories of our trip to central California. This wine has a nice palate. Mostly rhone varietals but the petite sirah adds a nice California touch. — 9 years ago
