* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

A smooth, complex wine brimming with pretty cherry, anise, spice and herb flavors. A hint of sage and thyme adds finesses to the finish, which is long. Well balanced and fine-crafted.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Pretty and elegant. Winemaker Benjamin Silver has tamed Nebbiolo’s notoriously bright acidity and coarse tannins in the smooth-textured wine. It’s redolent of cherry, plum, spice, earth, cedar and toast flavors, finishing with moderate length and a tangy edge.

Starts off with toasty cedar and spice aromas. The wine then fans out to show off cassis, blackberry, black cherry, raspberry, coffee and herb flavors. Tannins are supple, and the finish is moderate in length.

Smooth and nutty up front, with good acidity holding it together. The wine also shows pretty hints of peach, almond, pear and apple, and finishes with a touch of spice.

Quite bold and fruity, it’s more like a Zinfandel. But so what? The wine is delicious, with ripe cherry and plum flavors backed by pretty chocolate and spice notes. Finishes long, with a subtle vanilla touch. From young Central Coast winemaker Benjamin Silver. —J.M.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

An inky wine that sports a core of black cherry, cassis, blackberry, spice, herbs, tar and licorice flavors. Tannins are quite firm yet supple enough. A wellmade wine from an unusual variety that should age quite nicely.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

Pretty peach, apricot, mealon and spice notes frame a core of refreshing, lemon-like acidity. The finish shows a hint of vanilla and more spice. This wine is fun, fresh and lively to the end. -J.M.

* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012

What a disappointment, as previous vintages have been better. Starts off a little tanky, and airing doesn’t help it. There’s some simple fruit in the taste.
