At first the nose was thin but as the air had its way, this beauty released the aromas. Peach Peach Peach but also a natural perfume quality of Northern CA spring. The mouthfeel is HUGE coating every taste bud and hangs out for a couple of seconds then builds in the mid-tongue with a crisp acidic liveliness. Tropical flavors linger for a long while. A fantastic treat on a warm night. What a fun and exciting, 15 year stunner.

Still the best CA Nebbiolo on the market. This producer never disappoints.

GOOD

Stored in my personal cellar since purchase from KB.
Slightly out of balance at this point with just a whisper of strawberry and rhubarb that hides below a healthy nose burn. The alcohol tunes down a bit on the palate but the fruit is showing its age. A little burn on the back end masks the nice long finish of most KB wines I've tasted. Still a quality Pinot but I would drink in the next four to six months as the acidity is giving up.
