  A Lovely Outdoor Tasting Session with a Bastille Day Nod (Industrial Eats, Buellton, CA): Such a fascinating Bastille Day treat, served alongside (and really outshining) the much better known Ramonet Blanc from the same vintage. Obscure enough that mine is apparently the first and only TN on CellarTracker. A wine more about the aromatics than anything else, with a complex and evolving array of perfumed, spiced and smoky notes. I detected tar, licorice and even some black pepper, likely would have called it Nebbiolo had I been blinded. The wine itself somewhat lacked concentration, presumably a reflection of the vintage, but it did evidence impressive structure and tannins, leading us to credit presumed stem-inclusion (but I don't have actual insight on the winemaking).
