Imagine being in the cellar of a cheese and salumi maker. Add tannins and you're there. — 6 months ago
From Trinchero Family Estates, a blend of 60% Cab Sauv and 40% Merlot, dark Ruby with bold dark fruit and floral spice aromas. On the palate, ripe fruits, blackberry and cherry with espresso, cinnamon and tar notes. Dusty tannins, some oak with earthy tones on a medium plus finish. Nice offering, but I think ‘12 was a bit better! The Merlot makes it good to drink now. Tasting Sample. — 6 years ago

See my previous notes from last year. By all accounts, this bottle is an analog of the previous bottles I have enjoyed of the 2021 “Vie Erte”. This time, I was able to track the wine over three days and it never lost power. The fruit and structure are in harmonious balance. I am so excited to try this vintage when it begins to show some secondary characteristics…but I’m fully expecting to see exercise some serious patience. These wines will love for a very long time. — 9 days ago

Opened nicely after 1 he. Fully after 2. Deep red. Long finish. 😀 — 6 years ago
Excellent after just a few minutes open at room temp. No sticky sweetness, plenty of spices, no sharp or squeaky tannins. I would love to run this by some friends and see what they think. 😊 Enjoying this with/splashed over some home-cooked ground lamb. So glad I tried it once again. Imported by Trinchero Vineyards, California. — 7 years ago

2022 vintage. Medium body and plenty of punch. Throws in spices and earth. Solid pricing. Don't move much Barbaresco. If someone pulled this out from underneath the table in a decade tho, I'd have a huge smile. Can fight through the tannins now if you must. Try to hold off 3-5 years if possible. 8.5.26. — 4 days ago
