Not my thing. Seems to miss the mark. Tries to bring the best of two grapes but it looses its purpose

Whoa. Stunning, lip smacking Nebbiolo blend. Floral & juicy. Releases in two weeks.

it's a mouvedre, Nebbiolo blend only, a bit of VA (fake cherry), also cocktail cherry, good acid, clove and cinnamon notes with some spice to it. smells hot but it isn't felt in the palate. good tannins in the finish, that can stand to a steak. a bit of lactic acid bacteria with cheesy note in the finish.

More brambley Mourvèdre on the palate, still a beautiful use of Cali Nebbs from a great producer.
