.🍷 Proof that our palates are wider than Burgundy. Notes may be light, scores will be honest.

The 2022 Nebbiolo Clarè J.C. is a knockout on the nose. It’s silky, enveloping and shows a pretty inner sweetness. Wild berry fruit and exotic spice slowly saturate the palate. The 2022 finishes lightly structured yet full of mouth-watering tension. The drinkability factor is off the charts. $22.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2023)

Very pleasing. Good alternative to crazy price points for its DO peers.

Cherry-watermelon red-licorice orange-spice summer glou glou. Just get it and chill it. A return to greatness after an overtly mineral 2019 release (still yummy), and almost as good as the 2018. Piemonte Bojo!

This is delicious. Take the full symphony of a good Vajra Nebbiolo, add a bunch more violins, winds and crash cymbals; get rid of all but a few cellos and basses. High toned and super enjoyable showing all the fruit and floral notes you expect (sweet almost medicinal cherry and roses) dialed up to 10 with ringing juicy acid and enough tannin to keep it from feeling shrill. Fruit-driven finish almost feels a touch off-dry. Juicy and fun but with enough structure to cut through some fat, I’ll come back to this for another weeknight pasta or grilled chicken and veggies.

I rather like the retro writing on the label of this new wine from Vajra. It reminds me of the special anniversary 2011 from Scavino. Apparently Nebbiolo used to be made like this quite often. It's light bodied, with candied fruit and an attractive rose note. Decent alternative to a rosé in the summer.
