Note di degustazione
The 2021 Nebbiolo Centennial Mountain Vineyard is spicy on opening and pours a brick red color. It boasts notes of anise, graphite, dried orange peel, coriander, and spiced red plums. It was aged for two years in large oak barrels, and it has a medium-bodied frame, with chalky tannins, a light white pepper spice, and refreshing acidity, its grip coming through on the finish. It’s a nicely detailed Nebbiolo to drink over the coming 10 years.

An intensely concentrated, tight and tannic red made from the grape variety famous in Barolo and Barbaresco, Italy. Powerful, deep, dark fruits, wood smoke, black pepper, iodine and iron flavors on full tannins backed by good acidity. A brave effort to tame the grape in California. Best after 2030.
The 2021 Nebbiolo is possibly the single greatest Nebbiolo I have tasted from the United States. Translucent but powerful, the 2021 is captivating. Large-scaled yet polished tannins wrap around a core of dark-fleshed fruit. Floral and spice overtones open with a bit of coaxing. As good as the 2021 is, there is room for improvement, especially with a softer oak imprint. I can't wait to see how this ages. The Nebbiolo has come a very long way since I started tasting it with the 2017 vintage some years ago. The 2021 spent 14-28 days in tank. Malolactic fermentation was done in neutral barrels, where the wine spent 4-6 months before being racked into 25HL casks for aging.
