Blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (60%) and Merlot (40%). Dark ruby color with purple highlights. Aromas of black fruit, tar, smoky tobacco, dusty earth and baking spices. The palate is full of cooked black cherry/currant/plum fruit flavors, blueberries, black tea, graphite and those baking spices. Hint of vanilla and minerals on the long and lingering finish. Medium-plus bodied and muscular structure. Chewy tannins and nicely integrated acidity. Still a bit tight but heading to a very good place with some additional bottle age. — 25 days ago

The 2020 “del Comune di Serralunga d’Alba” is a traditional blend of three MGAs from Serralunga: mostly younger vines from Baudana, Cerretta and now, some fruit from Costabella. Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of several hours. The 2020 pours a beautiful garnet with a transparent core; medium+ viscosity with no staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with tart and ripe notes of Morello cherry, pomegranate, talcum powder, red roses, dry earth and old wood. On the palate, the wine is bone dry with high tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is long and slightly savory. I took the opportunity to enjoy this alongside the “Baudana” and this didn’t have the same elegance but it’s a very complete and balanced Barolo. Drink now through 2040. — 4 months ago

As one can expect for a Dave Phinney wine, this is rich and ripe, but it has so much more to offer at year 14. Blueberry, fig, tobacco, cracked pepper, dried mushroom, and slight hint of barnyard. On the palate it’s juicy yet soft and ultra smooth. The finish is long, candied, and earthy.
My 2nd and last bottle. At its peak. — 2 years ago

2020 vintage. Medium/medium-heavy body. Blessed with richness up front and grip on the back end without obvious flaws or gaping palate holes. A bit of something for everyone and at decent pricing. In consideration for future...considerations. 01.22.25. — 3 months ago

Had the 2022 in July of 2024. Really tasty little white. Lightly sweet with floral and citrus notes. Honeysuckle and hints of green apple. Was really tasty and hope to get this one again. — 9 months ago
