Close to my ideal of red wine...
Fresh, wild, energetic, full of life, full of fruit, subtle, elegant, long, bright...
When Burgundy meet the best of Nebbiolo, with a foot in the wildest Willamette valley hills...is Nerello Mascalese the hidden son of Pinot and Nebbiolo?

Best wine had recently. Fresh and lots of dark fruit, but will get better with some moderate cellar time.

Really ripe and a bit too dirty on the nose. The palate is a bit short but great texture. Cranberries and oranges, white flowers, quinine, and smoked duck.
