  Washington Wine Trip; 6/15/2012-6/19/2012: Enjoyed on a picnic with friends, while overlooking the water from Seattle (Pike's Place). PnP, served maybe a little warm. Jostled around while walking to the picnic as well.
  When opened, a bit closed on the nose, reticent black fruit, and asphalt. On the palate, initially noticed an off-putting spritz, which thankfully dissipated over 15 mins. On the palate, a more tart, red fruit profile came through, along with charcoal embers, and a nice acid level that made the wine fresh and precise on the palate. I've certainly never had a 7 year old Calif Nebbiolo before, but this wine could have gone another 4 years easily, and was quite tasty with meats and cheeses this warm and blustery afternoon.

  The aroma is very toasty, with notes of chestnuts and coffee beans. Saskatoon berry and black pepper mingle with dark, powerful tones of violets and lavender with a spin in the glass.
  
  The palate is subtle, tender, and deliciously ripe. Gorgeous fruit tones combine with an almost meaty savory quality, with dark cherries and berry preserves. Black pepper and coffee beans line the edges, and it all comes together deliciously in something that tastes almost like an entire meal in a glass. This is a delicious wine with tons of complexity and layering that is not necessarily typical for the varietal, but does it justice none-the-less.
