If you have $40 to $90 to spend on a bottle of wine, G.D. Vajra has many good choices for you. If you have $15, the estate's Langhe Rosso will give you plenty of pleasure--tonight, next week or next year. It is made from grapes from young vines of several denominations--Nerbbiolo, Barbera, Dolcetto, Albarossa, Freisa and Pinot Noir. And it is perfectly blended to bring out the best of all of them.
Medium ruby. Not much new oak, if any. Beautiful smells of roses, violets and fresh fruit. Cherries and more cherries--tart enough to tease your taste buds and sweet enough to give pleasure. Enough tannins to provide a firm structure but supple enough to let the flavors shine through. I can't find anything to fault with this wine, except that I never buy enough.
