Why Tony D. loves this wine: "A veritable pantheon of Piedmonte giants comprise this blend. Nebbiolo, Barbera, and Dolcetto play the staring role but not to be outshined by the presence of some more esoteric varietals like Freisa and Albarossa. All separately vinified and blended after maturing, it shows a wonderfully fresh, but firm and serious Piedmonte red for a fantastic value. Red fruits like tart cherry and red raspberry are accompanied by incense, red flowers, and a distinct rustic earthy quality. Tannins are well incorporated on the palate along with fresh acidity and a heartiness that belies its color. Every time I have featured this wine at a tasting, it always sells out. It remains one of my favorite values in all of Italy and perhaps all the wine-growing world."

Why Jason K. loves this wine: "A great example of Aussie Semillon, but slightly different stylistically than those from the Hunter Valley as it sees some time in barrel. Still bright and clean with notes of grapefruit, lemon zest, and green apple, but with texture from a short time in oak. Like a Hunter Valley Semillon it is fantastic now, but will evolve beautifully for decades in your cellar if you choose to. An absolute steal at only $19.99"

Why Madeline Triffon, M.S. loves this wine: "Quality right out of the gate - what an aroma!  Dried and fresh lavender, blueberry jam, oak spice, black licorice, and dusty earth.  The palate follows beautifully, is nicely edgy and speaks to a future.  Carillon, “bells”, is the second label of an iconic Right Bank star, the Premier Grand Cru Classé “A” Château Angelus.  The estate name comes from the Angelus prayers, in a spot where you can hear bells from 3 churches."

Madeline Triffon, M.S. - "A stunningly steal! This utterly delish Italian red manages to be rich, ripe, earthy and polished, all in the same mouth-filling sip. Extracted color stains the glass, and the fruit mimics juicy red and black plums, laced with anise..."

Why Madeline Triffon, M.S. loves this wine: Refined style, integrated wood, not flashy, creamy, ageworthy!
