Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Nebbiolo is very good. It opens with a pencil lead, green pepper and raspberry bouquet. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied and juicy. The flavor profile is a mineral infused tart cherry with notes of old oak. I also detected hints of green pepper and green olive. The finish is dry and its moderate fine tannins drift away nicely. This wine is intended to be paired with food. I would pair it with a chicken puttanesca. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: A slightly faded ruby red. Fine, delicate and persistent bouquet with characteristic trace scents of strawberry and raspberry. Pleasantly bitterish, velvety, at once elegant and full. Pair with red meats, grilled or on the spit. Serve with brown sauces.
