A Pinot Noir- Nebbiolo blend at 12% alcohol. Both varietals found in same vineyard in Los Carneros so Matthiasson made a blend out of it. It worked for me. Aromatic, light body, only 8% Nebbiolo but it was prominent on the palate.

On day 1, I wasn’t that impressed. On day 3, this is really singing. The red fruit aromas go on and on - one of those wines you could just keep smelling. A bit less acid than I was hoping for, but I agree with Matthiasson’s winemaker note: “the Nebbiolo is unmistakable on the finish, with the silky but firm tannins and noble bitterness”

Great wine. Want to give the other bottle some more age, but, don’t know how likely that is to happen. Delicious.
