2018 Riserva Nebbiolo
This is a wine we produce only during the best years for Nebbiolo.
Our Riserva Nebbiolo emanates from the perfect site for growing Nebbiolo in Oregon, the marine sedimentary soil of White Oak Vineyard. Most years our nebbiolos are reminiscent of Ghemme or Gattinara, but the 2018 has moved into the Langhe.
Like the real deal, this wine receives a minimum of four years total aging. Its nose is characterized by dried cherries, dried currants, leather and rose petals. Its focused palate delivers a vibrant acidity typical of this varietal. The label represents our native Oregon White Oak.
As suggested by our friend Eric Pottmeyer at Sec Wines, throw a bottle in the cellar for 10+ years and fool your Barolo/Ghemme/Lessona-loving friends!
