About 40% Nebbiolo; the rest PN, Syrah, and Merlot. I generally avoid non Italian grapes in Italian wines because I’m an Italian wine snob. There are hundreds of indigenous Italian grapes. Does everyone really want just the Pinots and Merlots? But this was quite good. A birthday gift from my kids. Fruity, some tannins - I can taste the Nebbiolo. Quite fruity. — 4 days ago

Honestly, @Angelo Casagrande, I’m with you on the non-indigenous varietal issue vis-a-vis Italian wines.

Me too @Doug Powers But I am a sucker for Gaja's Nebbiolo that has Cab and Merlot in the mix.

Wow. Really nice. My first sip was a bit of a shock. But the ensuing ones were intriguing. Some pear, freen apple, stony minerality that is almost lime- like ( not the fruit). A tinge of the petrol. Very pleasant — 21 days ago

Writing this up after the fact- nice minerality. Rather light on fruit. Something in the finish I wasn’t fond of. — 8 days ago

One of the better savignon blancs from NZ. Not a grapefruit bomb. More subtle NZ fruit/ citrus flavors. — 8 days ago

Had this last week. Good red for the warm weather. Think it’s 90/10 PN/ Gamay. This has lots of strawberry/ cherry, light tannins. Would be nice with a lot of foods. — 12 days ago
