Community Tasting Note

srh Likes this wine:

Saturday, August 10, 2019 - Winebar [1 Rosé, 3 Whts, & 8 Reds] from 08/09/19 + 4 Shared Bottles (Vintage Wines Ltd., San Diego, CA): Robert, THANK you for sharing this eye-opening (at least for ME) CA Nebbiolo! :)

N: A medicinal (?) note that I found unattractive blew off with swirling to notes of cherries/earth, picking up notes of orange rind with even > air;

P: LM body; Rndish entry with NICE, ALMOST swtish frt (approaching threshold R.S.?) met by an astringent pucker which stays in contact with the init frt as it seamlessly transitions into a LONG, POSS very, VERY slightly bitterish finish with an enticing tangy/swtness to the firming, dusty tannins. I suspect @ its peak (or a BIT beyond?), but SHOULD still drink acceptably 'til '23 or so. 14.9% ABV; My EXC for a NICELY done wine that's THE best CA version of this varietal *I* can recall tasting! :) 92 pts Tanzer
