Pine needle. Lighter in style, lighter in volume. No new oak - lighter tannins. Higher elevation.

Different animal Nebbiolo. Subdued Tannins and soft aromas. WTF. Would've thought Pinot if blinded. Super drinkable and desirable.

High altitude nebbiolo from an extremely small vineyard site. Rumour has it that only a single case made it to colorado. It's a much more feminine expression of the grape, with much less tannin than others. Beautiful and fresh nose with menthol and fresh orange and cherries. Great acidity and minimal body. This is a nebbiolo for pinot lovers.

Not sure what is the issue exactly but it just isn’t right. Color is muddy and tastes like it’s been heated. No sign of that on the cork. Disappointing
