“Floral and spiced, this fresh, elegant version offers an accessible palate of crushed raspberry and cherry fruit, with graphite and aromatic dried herb notes. Offers a subtle finish, structured by chewy tannins. Drink now through 2020. 8,300 cases made.” – AN, Wine Spectator, Jan. 2015

“This vineyard was planted in 1978, a 1.2-acre south-facing hillside of silty marl mixed with calcareous clay. The wine aged first in French oak barriques then in larger format oak, the wood influence apparent in a dark walnut skin toughness of the tannins. As powerful as those tannins are, the fruit comes up through them, luscious in its anise and truffle richness. Compressed for now, this is a savory Barbaresco to cellar for ten years or more.” -Wine & Spirits, Dec. 2014

“There’s a brisk, floral Barolo hidden behind this wine’s massive tannins. There’s plenty of ripe fruit compressed within those tannins, though it’s inaccessible for now, blocked off by a Nebbiolo grape-skin character as hard and bitter as an anise stalk. This is built to cellar over the long term.” -Wine & Spirits, Dec. 2014

“Crisp and refreshing, this delivers aromas of white flower and tangy citrus. The crisp palate highlights nectarine and lemon zest alongside yeasty notes of baked bread and toasted almonds.” -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, Dec. 2014

“Creamy and elegant, this delivers sensations of Golden Delicious apple, Bartlett pear, pastry cream and candied lemon along with a hint of Mediterranean herbs. It offers pure sipping pleasure thanks to fresh acidity and a soft perlage.” -Kerin O’Keefe, Wine Enthusiast, dec. 2014

“A tight and edgy Barolo, this is tangled up in a youthful, earthy funk. It’s a powerful black wine with scents of truffles and mushrooms, along with some rooty bitterness. Cellar it to let the fruit come forward.” Wine & Spirits, Dec. 2014

“This red shows cherry, raspberry, floral and leather aromas and flavors, walking a tightrope between a supple and firm texture. On the elegant side, finishing long and savory. 1,416 cases made.” – B.S., Wine Spectator, Dec. 31, 2014
