A very nice medium bodied Italian red blend. Went well with pasta (what a surprise!)

Past it's prime. Flat and un-interesting. In it's youth this wine was tasty.

Good effort for California Nebbiolo. Doesn't have the acidity, tart cherry, and mouth coating tannin of a good barolo, but I still enjoyed what this bottle had to offer. For the right price I would buy another.

Pop and pour - not complex or anything, but worked with spinach and cheese ravioli with pink sauce. We would normally drink rose with that but wanted red and this fit the bill.

Still a pleasant quaffer, and worked well with spaghetti and meatballs - but drink up! I really enjoy mature reds but this wine is not going to age well. The very beginnings of a raisiny quality are already there. Open soon and enjoy!

2011 Toccata Barbera

Private Preserve after Day 1

N: Toast/smoke atop blk cherries, red cherries coming forward with air/swirling

P: MF, poss Med, body; Nice frt on entry with a lingering, tangy finish; Poss a bit of heat? (14.5% ABV, per the bottle)
// Day 2: N: Jam (strawberry?) ; P: MF body; ≈Day 1, but the frt is even more developed, showing VERY nicely on the front palate. Based upon Day 2's showing, a lively, NOT tired wine, that may even improve a bit more. :) [Sadly, this was our only bottle.]

Private Preserve after Day 1

N: Ripe, fairly complex melange of berries & blk olives, the latter being on top

P: MF body; NICE, almost swtsh frt balanced by acidity. Long, VERY slightly astringent finish. // Day 3: While the N shows SOME oxygenation, the P shows LOTS of richness, & the wine still drinks nicely.

5/12/2019 - jb@jbisme.com Likes this wine: 87 points

Very grapey on the palate to start but opened up nicely as the temp came up. Nice notes of cassis and plum with a little raisin over a slightly woody and ashy background. Thought this might be too far past peak but still enough acid to carry it into 2019. Drink now!

12/17/2016 - srh Likes this wine: NR

N: Closed; Notes of spice with overtones of cherries?

P: Med body; Almost swtish cherry frt on the front, lingering nicely, though seemingly drying on the finish. (Flavors quite like the N.)

Addendum: At least with respect to the N, I probably should have decanted as I'd suggested doing in my TN of 7/1/2016.

An unfortunate misstep by Toccata. Has a pretty distinct urinal cake note that is just nasty. Otherwise reasonably well made, which is why the score is as high as it is. Poured down the sink and opened something else.

The nose seems to imply more sweetness than the palate delivers, but in a good way. Perfect with a an oven-roasted chicken and scratch mashed potatoes.

2012 Toccata Nebbiolo Barbera

Santa Barbara County Nebbiolo Blend, Nebbiolo more

7/2/2017 - foobarski Likes this wine: 89 points

Decanted it (through the Vinturi) about a half hour before drinking. Paired well with a simple dinner of grilled sausage sandwiches.
Nose is subdued spices, sort of Chinese 5-spice, no one note stands out. Brambly berries and black cherries on the palate, with a short finish. Very nice now, but I'll probably give my other bottle of this at least another year; I think it's still got a while to go.

Quietly spicy nose. Soft, mellow fruitiness that betrays no sense of the slight heat (14.5%) within. A simple, pleasant finish. Very nice.

Santa Barbara County Nebbiolo Blend, Nebbiolo more

5/5/2017 - foobarski Likes this wine: 89 points

Have to really swirl the glass to get any nose to come up, and then it's a faint sweet florality, with some slightly metallic undertones. On the tongue it's dark fruit, cocoa and just a little meatiness. Nice tannins, fairly short finish. Paired well with pasta and red sauce.
