2009 La Vita from Bargetto Winery, Santa Cruz County.
We found these bottles hiding in storage at the winery and wow. Time has treated this '09 well. A blend of Nebbiolo, Refosco & Dolcetto, La Vita is consistently one of the best Italian varietal wines I can find. A lush nose of blueberry and boysenberry preserves accented by baking spices and forest floor. Followed by a perfectly ripe palate with density and weight. I can keep going but I won't. Try this wine.
