| Community Tasting Notes (average 93.3 pts. and median of 93 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by goodvitis.com on 12/23/2017 & rated 93 points: The bursting nose wafts a series of high-toned aromas, including candied cherry, huckleberry, crushed Sweetarts, scorched Earth, light tobacco leaf, orange pith. The body is medium in stature with bright acidity that elevates the palate, while integrated tannins that give the body a nice amount density and backbone. The structure, balance and lift on this wine is almost magical. Flavors come in the way of semi-tart red pit and berry fruit, tanned tobacco, orange juice, tar and peppered salmon jerky. This is in a really nice place now but will do well for at least a few more years. (661 views) | | | Tasted by Erikjay on 5/21/2017 & rated 94 points: What a surprise - complex, fresh and simply brilliant for it's price.
And it's a Nebbiolo, fer sure.
July 1th 2018: Sweet fruit, still primary. Looking forward to follow this, as it has years to go and the potential to develop into something really special.
June 20th 2020: Still fresh, even more complexity. Great perfume, still primary with crushed strawberries at the fore. Colour has a hint of brick to it. A lovely wine, wish I had more than a bottle left. Will try to keep my hands off the last one for another 3-5 years. (985 views) | | | Tasted by NZ_Mag on 1/18/2017 & rated 92 points: Rich aromas of red fruits: plums and cherries with dried red rose and grilled sage. Juicy with plush tannins and high acidity. (889 views) | | | Tasted by goodvitis.com on 12/18/2016 & rated 93 points: Nose: bright raspberries, orange zest, petrol and dandelion. Wet soil. Palate: Medium body, fine grainy and integrated tannins. Bright acidity. Very smooth and lush mouthfeel. The fruits are red with raspberries, strawberries and plums. Also quince. Black pepper and Allspice. Tar. There's a green note that's both vegetal and herbal. With extended air comes watermelon. This is quite good but also quite difficult to rate due to its highly unusual profile. (975 views) |

| Clendenen Family Vineyards Producer WebsiteNebbioloNebbiolo is a red grape indigenous to the Piedmont region of Italy in the Northwest. The grape can also be found in other parts of the world, though they are not as respected.
Nebbiolo is often considered the "king of red wines," as it is the grape of the famed wines of Barolo DOCG, Barbaresco DOCG, and Roero DOCG. It is known for high tannins and acidity, but with a distinct finesse. When grown on clay, Nebbiolo can be very powerful, tannic, and require long aging periods to reach its full potential. When grown on sand, the grape exhibits a more approachable body with more elegant fruit and less tannins, but still has high aging potential.
"Nebbiolo" is named for the Italian word, "nebbia", which means "fog", in Italian and rightfully so since there is generally a lot of fog in the foothills of Piedmont during harvest.
Nebbiolo is a late-ripening variety that does best in a continental climate that boasts moderate summers and long autumns. In Piedmont, Nebbiolo is normally harvested in October.

Varietal character (Appellation America) | Nebbiolo on CellarTrackerUSAAmerican wine has been produced since the 1500s, with the first widespread production beginning in New Mexico in 1628. Today, wine production is undertaken in all fifty states, with California producing 84% of all U.S. wine. The continent of North America is home to several native species of grape, including Vitis labrusca, Vitis riparia, Vitis rotundifolia, and Vitis vulpina, but the wine-making industry is based almost entirely on the cultivation of the European Vitis vinifera, which was introduced by European settlers. With more than 1,100,000 acres (4,500 km2) under vine, the United States is the fourth-largest wine producing country in the world, after Italy, Spain, and France.California2021 vintage: "Unlike almost all other areas of the state, the Russian River Valley had higher than normal crops in 2021, which has made for a wine of greater generosity and fruit forwardness than some of its stablemates." - Morgan Twain-Peterson Central Coasthttp://www.ccwinegrowers.org/links.html
