Wow! This is amazing. Great nose of dried flowers, red fruit, dried fruit, leather. Palate is more of the same. Prunes, flower, cherries, leather. Such a long finish. Maybe best CA Nebbiolo. Will 100 percent seek out more.

Yes, Nebbiolo from Paso! Quite confused on blind, as this had markers but too much fruit to be Piedmont. Fun.

Giornata Wines Luna Matta Vineyard Nebbiolo 2014: Medium body. Floral aromas. Red fruits. Cedar. Herbs. Fine tannins with a dry finish. Overall, an excellent expression of the Italian grape varietal Nebbiolo from Paso Robles, California! This is one wine you must seek out & try! Cheers🍷

Giornata Wines Luna Matta Vineyard Nebbiolo 2014: Pure. Fresh. Simply awesome! Roses & violets on the nose and intense red fruits, licorice & earth on the palate. I’m blown away by this Californian Nebbiolo that tastes like its from Barolo! Love love love this new world expression of an old world varietal! Cheers🍷

Wow! As good as I remembered from my visit. Great balance and earthiness with tons of fruit. Strong and memorable finish. Tastes of cherry, leather, florals, pine.

Tons of cherry flavor but very light, refreshing and well balanced.
