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

The first European settlers to consider growing grapevines in the United States must have been delighted when they discovered the now famous wine regions within California, Oregon and elsewhere. Not even in the Old World are there such fertile valleys, made ideal for vine cultivation by the blazing sunshine, long, hot summers and oceanic breezes. As such, it comes as little surprise that today more than eighty-nine percent of United States wines are grown in the valleys and on the mountainsides of California, where arguably some of the finest produce in the world is found. However, American wine does not begin and end with California, and due to the vast size of the country and the incredible range of terrains and climates found within the United States, there is probably no other country on earth which produces such a massive diversity of wines. From ice wines in the northern states, to sparkling wines, aromatized wines, fortified wines, reds, whites, rosés and more, the United States has endless surprises in store for lovers of New World wines.
bottle and glass

Appellation: Sonoma Valley

California's beautiful and remarkably fertile Sonoma Valley has grown over the decades to become one of the United States' most respected and profitable wine regions, with wineries within the region benefiting from the superb Californian sunshine, low rainfall and wonderfully rich soils. Because of this vital combination of excellent conditions, the region is able to grow a wide range of grape varietals for use in the production of an impressive array of wines, with many different red and white wine grapes flourishing each year and producing excellent and characterful results. The soils have been enriched by volcanic activity, and the presence of geothermal springs, which make this region a unique one, and very much the beating heart of California's ever growing wine industry.
