Big red fruit nose- berry, cherry more new world than not. Some@funk and smoke, too. Punchy, red fruit, less tannic than expected but still good structure. Short finish.

Nebbiolo from one of my favorite Washington State vineyards, Red Willow. Great QPR. Paired well with gnocchi in tomato sauce.

A little on the ripe side for a Nebbiolo, but hey, it's grown in Washington. Surprisingly good tonight. Candied cherry, roses, leather, acid. Mari said its still delicious day 2 as well:)

Getting old. Some tomato and herbs. There’s a pine/menthol component as it opens. Some tannin but overall feels like it’s past it’s prime.

Great middle road wine for pairing with food. My partner loves Washington State wines, and I love Italian varietals, so she gets what she wants, and I get what I want.

Who would have thought a Nebbiolo from Washington would be good? Very perfumed on the nose like an Italian Nebbiolo Nice acidity without overpowering. Well done

Medium dark color with a reticent nose & a medium dark color & a medium to full body with slight sweetness (? 0.5% residual sugar) & good complexity &a fairly long aftertaste. MUCH improved since last tasted a few years ago.

A real treat from Washington. A 2006! Just rich, well made wine that ages very well. Beautifully developed russet colour. Easy drinking medium body. Dried cranberry, cinnamon.
