This is the Mark Cascia 2012 Nebbiolo. Aged 48 mo. In American Oak, and it really shows! The nose is port-like, with a lot of wood and ashe on the wine. Color is reddish-brown. Tons of oak, tobacco, and earthy on the nose. Palate is relatively hot. Loads of earthiness, black pepper on the palate. This is not a fruity wine. It honestly tastes more like a port, but doesn't have the viscous finish of a port.
Not for the amateur wine drinker. I like it, but I can't drink more than one glass.
