Community Tasting Note

Monday, January 11, 2021 - Forgot I had this bottle after a visit to the winery a couple years ago. For an Italian meal, thought this would be fun to try again.
Quite a unique grape to find on Pritchard Hill. Wow. Italy meets Napa (though honestly, it’s 75 Napa, 25 Italy). Lots of similarities to Cimarossa’s Foglet Nebbiolo from Howell Mtn, but more lifted fruit and depth in the middle (though not as tannic/Nebbiolo like at the finish). The aromatics are almost high toned...really bright and sharp. Smells like a cherry liqueur mixed with rosemary/herbs. Tart red and black fruits, rose petal, and herbal spice dominate the palate. Good acidity and finish. More modern in style than Italy’s version, but enjoyable for what it is. Will improve slightly with another few years away.
