Rosemary and tar. Silky pureness. Acid is raging. Gorgeous wine. Should age for another 5-10 at least.

The first new world nebbiolo I've had with secondary and perhaps tertiary characteristics. It isn't trying to be Italian either. It's its own beautiful wine.

Exceptional. Not gonna try to get into how the earth was smooth yet berry-filled. Like if you could make a juice of puréed mud, silk and blueberries, which should be disgusting. But is the opposite: The Best. Tasted at Republique in LA.

Massively tannic.. This wine needs at least 10-years in the cellar to soften, and it already spent 5-years in barrel. Yes, 5-years.. Interesting wine, but already showing a bit of a porty characteristic. From the extended barrel aging I'd assume.

Tasty. Not truly Nebbiolo in the classic sense. But a ripe and forward American version. Lots of unusual nuances- ripe mushroom; tart black berries.

Not nearly as good as the 2008 Muncagotta Produttori we had last week, but close enough, and a valiant effort.
