Nice lighter style of Nebbiolo from alto Piemonte. Light red florals on the expressive nose. Lighter red herby fruit on the palate. Good acid and medium minus tannins. Good wine with cheeses and various cured meats for an appetizer course. — 10 days ago

Fantastic producer. If you’ve never tried their Boca, I highly recommend it.

This has filled out nicely since my last bottle. Earthy, deeply cherryish nose. In the mouth, it’s dense but lithe macerated cherry, getting savory on the long finish. Full, but with nice acids. Damn this was an amazing value. I’m sorry that this is my last one. — 3 months ago

Medium Ruby with aromas of berry fruits and spicy notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry and red plum with pepper spice, floral and herbs. Fine tannins, medium finish ending with fruit, spice and earthy mineral character. Nice now! — 4 months ago

Wow, this is spectacular! Plenty of life ahead of it, too. The wine is a very pale brick color. It is fresh and vibrant, but beautifully complex. Red sour cherries, juicy and acidic, leather, mint, a little dust on the rose petals. Medium plus on the tannins. I would love to have this with a lot more age. Should be a great wine for a charcuterie spread, and at $19 I feel like a highway robber.

@Dave, I knew zippo about this producer until maybe 16-18 years ago. There was an importer/retailer east of California where I purchased bottles of 1996/2000/2003 Vallana wines, I have a few left, but they seem somewhat immortal (I guess Nebbiolo is the key). I also purchased four vintages of the early 2000s Wynns Black Label Cabs from the same source (all sub-US$15), which I thoroughly enjoyed — @Bob McDonald could fill in on what a bargain those wines always are!!!

@Doug Powers , your stories never disappoint, and I don't know how you can remember so many wines with such clarity. I can barely remember what I've had this year without looking at my notes.

@Doug Powers You are right Doug. Wynns Black Label Cabernet Sauvignon is one of the world’s great wine bargains. Can’t remember exactly but now with a heritage of over 50 vintages.

Trying to find the right way to describe this. More of a drink now Nebbiolo. Darker in color. More herbal notes. Some earth and a little black licorice. I would buy more but not sure where I got this. 😆 — 3 months ago
