Pier 2006 La Morosa Barbera (Barbera d'Alba)
- Online Exclusive
At three years of age, alluring developed notes of leather and mushroom dominate the nose, framed by intense plummy fruit. Crisp but well-integrated acidity backs up cherry cordial and chocolate flavors in the mouth that slide into a moderately long, cherry-berry finish. Drink up.

Pier 2001 Rio Sordo Riserva Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Online Exclusive
An honest, straightforward Barbaresco with earth, woods and tar aromas interlaced with pine tones. Burly and tannic in texture, with a slightly drying finish enlivened by flower notes. Drink 2010–2012.

Pier 2007 Asnas Estate Selection Rosso Nebbiolo (Langhe)
- Online Exclusive
Crafted from an intriguing blend of Nebbiolo, Barbera and Petit Verdot, this Langhe blend delivers dense, forward fruit in a compact structure with firm tannins and luscious blackberry fruit. Moderate finish. Drink now or cellar for a year.

Pier 2001 Vila Riserva Nebbiolo (Barbaresco)
- Online Exclusive
Despite good persistence and appealing earth and leather flavors, this Barbaresco fails to hit the mark. Aromas of paint thinner undermine the cherry fruit and flatten out the flavors in the mouth.
