The 2019 Nebbiolo Centennial Mountain Vineyard is a wild, powerful wine endowed with tons of structure and personality. Wild cherry, blood orange, spice, sage and mint give the Nebbiolo tons of aromatic presence. There's plenty of depth behind that. This is a pretty potent, serious California Nebbiolo endowed with beguiling complexity and of class. It offers tons of Nebbiolo character with an extra kick of California sunshine. It spent 31 days on the skins and was aged in 25hL casks, a pretty traditional regime of winemaking and élevage. This is a big step up. Give the 2019 a year or two to help soften the tannic bite. ...

A bright ruby/garnet color, the 2019 Nebbiolo Centennial Mountain Vineyard is packed with aromas of candied raspberry, spiced orange peel, crushed roses, and fresh leather. Medium-bodied and finessed, fine tannins emerge as the wine floats across the palate with ease, revealing its more serious structure on the mid-palate and finish, with a savory and attractive lift of tea leaf lasting long on the finish. This is an impressive Nebbiolo with a lot of personality and true varietal character coming from California. Drink 2024-2032.
Winery
Although we began producing Nebbiolo with the 2016 vintage, we opted to wait for a truly exceptional example. Finally, with the 2019 vintage, we have it! Nebbiolo offers a mesmerizing blend of delicacy and structure. The combination of rose petals, red fruit, spicy earth, and savory dryness is utterly captivating. We hope you enjoy this first 2019 Centennial Mountain Nebbiolo as much as we do!

Varietal: Nebbiolo

The name 'Nebbiolo' means 'fog' in Italian, and there is some debate as to the origin of this unusual name. However, many people claim it has something to do with the milky white dust which covers these dark, round grapes as they begin to reach maturity. The Nebbiolo grapes are most renowned for their inclusion in the finest wines of Italy, where they are allowed to age and mellow their strong tannins, producing wonderfully complex wines packed with dense, interesting flavors Most commonly, Nebbiolo wines hold beautiful tones of truffle, violet and prunes, and are highly aromatic and mellow on the palate. Their popularity and fame has helped them become established in several New World countries, where they continue to seduce and fascinate wine drinkers looking for an elegant, sophisticated wine which packs in plenty of wonderful flavors

Region: California

It isn't difficult to see how California became one of the world's most important, successful and influential wine regions. Since the first vines were planted in the state by Spanish pioneers in the 18th century, the region has made the most of its ideal climatic conditions, which range from hot, dry and arid to windswept and cool, for vineyard cultivation and wine production. Today, California has almost half a million acres under vine, and hundreds of independent and well established wineries dotted across its vast wine-making areas. Californian wines range from the traditional, and those emulating fine Old World wines, to the experimental and unique, and it is the home to many of the world's most exciting and trailblazing wineries producing excellent bottles for the global market.

Country: United States

For three hundred years now, the United States has been leading the New World in wine production, both in regards to quantity and quality. Wine is actually produced in all fifty states across the country, with California leading the way by an enormous margin. Indeed, as much as eighty-nine percent of all wines to come out of the United States are produced in California, where the fertile soils and sloping mountain sides, coupled with the long, hot summers provide ideal conditions for producing high quality, European style red, white and rosé wines. With over a million acres of the country under vine, the United States sits comfortably as the fourth largest wine producer in the world, where imported grape varietals from all over the Old World are processed using a successful blend of traditional and contemporary techniques.

Appellation: Sonoma Valley

Often referred to as the 'birthplace of Californian wines', the beautiful and expansive Sonoma Valley has long been seen as something of a vibrant and beating heart within the American wine industry. The 'valley of the moon', as it is affectionately known, benefits enormously from the blazing Californian sunshine it receives throughout the long, hot and dry summers, and exceptionally warm autumns in which the vast array of grape varietals found there ripen. Sonoma Valley is most famous for big, full-bodied and flavorful red wine grapes, such as Cabernet Sauvignon, as well as many excellent white wine grapes. Due to the volcanic soils of the region, fed by thermal springs packed full of minerals, the soil is wonderfully fertile and capable of supporting a wide variety of grape species.
