Mendoza trying to be Napa, but not nearly as good. This is a total milk shake. No sense of terroir or balance. Yet there is a sense that this comes from good grapes. There's some freshness and nice fruit hiding behind the oak. Wish it was better. Would not buy again.

May be mature, but this is not tired! Very nice dried cherry, violets, minerality and leather.

Great value here, and drinking well now. Classic nebbiolo nuance in an approachable package. Blueberry aromas, cherries, rose and tar on the palate.
