Varietally correct - just a little too much of that Loudoun Co twang. More on the tar/graphite side of the CF spectrum. Still impressive that at 12 years, it maintained its form factor - impressive winemaking by Mr. Walsh. — a month ago

Wow! My cellar aging project scores another ‘discovery’ win. At almost 10 years from harvest, this Nate Walsh built beauty was doing what aged Nebbiolo is supposed to do! Using Horton fruit (Orange, Va), this bottle has metamorphosed into a seductive herbal-rose tea. It’s acidity is almost non-detectable, yet it was the perfect pairing for Tuscan-sausages & peppers w/creamy mash. The flavors of this Nebbiolo are so alive that they danced effortlessly with the sautéed peppers and complimented the herbs in the locally made Tuscans. Just wow…1 ‘12 remains plus 2 ‘10’s. — 2 years ago

Big wine with excellent concentration and depth, but not over the top and good balance for pairing with hearty food. 2017 — 5 years ago

Concentrated and brooding. Mostly Syrah with Cabernet and Grenache. Black peppercorns. Wild, brambly fruit. Juicy. Assertive and better with ample air. Biodynamically farmed. Great with Beef Bourguignon. — 2 years ago

Very nice build by Nate Walsh as winemaker for the husband / wife owners at OctoberOne. Their fruit - sense of place - mouthfeel and apricots galore. If Jefferson Viognier and a King Family Chardonnay had a baby —> this — 2 years ago

9.1

Medium bodied, menthol/eucalypt, mild spice, black fruited, fine tannin, good length. Feels a bit dilute compared to the 2014, and a lesser wine on the second night. Gary Walsh gave this 94 but I can’t quite see that. — 5 years ago
