Tight and taut, the elegant, structured palate delivers juicy black cherry, crushed raspberry, wild herbs and white pepper alongside assertive, close-grained tannins.

Aromas of rose, cherry, strawberry and white pepper draw you in, while vibrant acidity and a lacy texture carry the fruit flavors, adding tobacco and earth details. A solid base of tannins provides support. This should come together nicely. ~ BS

Exceptional Bargain
"I'm very familiar with Barbaresco and Italian wines made with Nebbiolo. Most of what I drink has a floor of 40 dollars. That said, this is pretty amazing at this price. Tart cherry and strawberry, with very fine tannins. It's pretty young, so its reasonable to expect some further depth with time."
