2012, was worried reading online reviews, but this is complex and amazing. Macerated cherries, baked apple crisp, some wood, other herbs and spices I cannot pinpoint. Some chamomile tea notes. All on the nose. Palate is apples initially, buttery bread, more cherries then hits a citrus acidity late that leads to baked apples with spice and vanilla and oat buy it is all balanced by the underlying acidity. There is clearly an oak influence but so well balanced with acidity. Nothing funky on this one despite its color and some online notes. Outstanding and unique. — 10 hours ago

This is great right now. Well balanced. Tart fruits of cherry and cranberry leading to some darker fruits and flowers with an end of baking spice. If there’s good acidity that makes you come back for more. Awesome with food. This could go with so many dishes. It’s so clean and yet has the goods to shine. — 23 days ago

Second bottle is maybe better. Definitely better on day two. Just a very good Napa cab, balanced, big fruit, good tannin, has a long life still. Lovely. — 2 days ago

Second bottle way better. Some darker fruits and a lot of herbs and earth. Better on day two. Will hold onto the other bottles for a few years. — 10 days ago

Way better on day two. More expressive, still good amount of tannin and acidity but more floral and fruity. Like an alpine hike. Great wine. — 16 days ago

This is not trying to be piedmont. Lighter bodied with big tannin, a lot of fruit fresh and red fruit but also some jam. The flowers and herbs really show mid palate to super long tannin that then ends in strawberries and tart cherries that make you want another sip. This was so good with food. Not like other Nebbiolo from CA. I like that this is just good wine. — 8 days ago

Nice! Lemons and stone fruit with a hint of petrol. There’s a long finish of flowers and apricots and acidity that is good. I enjoyed it. — 13 days ago

I get more stone fruit and deeper flavors of caramelized peach, still a ton of flowers and tea notes, some citrus but less. Really lovely seems to be evolving nicely. — 23 days ago
