This is the Emery single vineyard bottling. Wow, still drinking great. Very Burgundy like: tart red berries, forest floor, sour cherry. Complex, layered and not showing it’s age at all. — a month ago

Always enjoy this bottling. Knowingly drank this too young. Impulse buy at Costco due to great price. Had it with pizza and it was fine. Tart cherry, med+ tannins, good acidity. — a month ago

So, so good. My favorite bottling from my favorite producer of Mountain Nebbiolo. Roses,brambles, tart red cherry, minerality and well integrated tannins. Still a little grippy but gives the wine some texture. — a month ago
