This red starts out supple in texture, with a dense matrix of tannins gathering muster as this builds to the finish, providing a backdrop for cherry, plum, mint, menthol, iron and tobacco flavors. Compact and sinewy, with fine length. Best from 2027 through 2043. 1,100 cases made, 140 cases imported.

Grape
Nebbiolo
Nebbiolo originated in Piedmont in Italy, where it remains the region's most important red grape. Its name comes from the Italian word nebbia, which means fog, a feature of the hills where the grape traditionally grows. Nebbiolo is thick-skinned, early-budding and late-ripening; it needs long periods of sunshine to ripen fully and is often planted on south- or southwest-facing hillsides for maximum exposure. The best examples come from calcareous marl vineyards, with some planted in sandy soils.
