Ruby with a bouquet of sweet red fruit, spices, vanilla and licorice. On the palate flavors of cherry and raspberry with notes of pepper, sweet spice and vanilla.

First - I love the artwork

On opening - lovely aroma of dark fruit tobacco undergrowth.

When lasted 3.5 years ago it took a day to open. Now the huge tannins blew off in about 2 hours. - then hit the sweet spot - lovely aroma including earthiness - cherry and other dark fruit on the palate with mouthwatering acidity. Nice balance of mossy earthiness, mineral, truffle and other elegant mature flavors that are meant to be savored. The tannins are still present but build to a long finish and now enhance regather than distract from the experience. — 4 months ago

Pale gold in color with a beautiful nose with lots of complexity.

Medium plus in body with medium acidity.

Dry on the palate with nice complexity.

Showing lemons, apples, pears, light earth, light honey, herbs, Indian spices and white pepper.

Long finish with roasted almonds.

This is a delicious Viognier from Piedmont. Probably my first from this region. Rich and complex. Nicely balanced with a soft mouthfeel.

Delicious right out of the bottle, and better when not too cold. Elegant and fruit forward.

Will continue to age nicely in the next few years.

Good by itself as a sipping wine.

Dark ruby with light ruby highlights. Inviting nose and medium full palate of red berries, juicy blueberry, and ripe blackberry. Bright acidity and medium tannins mark this as a classic Piemonte red for hearty Mediterranean fare. I'm having short rib and butternut squash risotto which fits perfectly. Drink now through 2028. — 2 years ago

Bright honey gold with fine frizzante bubbles and a thin white mousse. Wildly aromatic with white flowers, ripe red apples, and fresh white peaches. Medium light palate confirms the nose giving layers of pome, stone fruit, honeysuckle, and honey. Bright, balancing acidity. Long finish. Excellent as a light sipper; shines with spicy dishes, fresh fruit, or sweet barbecue sauces. Drink now, of course. — 7 months ago
