Great American Nebbiolo. Would turn heads in a blind tasting.

Oct 19th, 2017Very successful #newworld #nebbiolo Pale red. Med + intensity and complexity showing flowers, bright red, leather, and mushrooms. Firm and balanced structure. Great tension and complexity. Med finish that warmed up the throat. Drinking so well now but should age well for a few more years. #palmina #santabarbara #california #usa #ctbucklinwine

Apr 20th, 2017Not gonna lie, pretty solid. Beautiful aromatics. A tad hot and youthful, but nice aging potential.

Stunning nose on this Santa Barbara County wine, very similar to what you'd find in Italy but with more nuanced fruit. The nose has lovely notes of rose petals, new tar, dried leaves, and dried plums. The palate is second only to the nose on this, tons of tannins that would make this a great wine with a ton of dishes. This is a great example of how Santa Barbara does wines no one else does.

Jul 14th, 2015Very good and showing tried cherry and unfiltered tobacco; big fine but with sufficient tannin to be balanced.
