Clendenen Family Bricco Buon Natale Nebbiolo
Cory Fierro
Surprising that there was no sediment in this wine given that it's a decade old. Got this for a really good price at Au Bon Climat in Santa Barbara and decided to enjoy it now. Wonderful nose of rose petals, Cooke cherries and raspberries, wet leaves and baking spices. Palate had high acidity, medium high tannins that probably mellowed out some and flavors of pomegranate and some oxidation. Just a really wonderful example of a nebbiolo done outside of Italy.

The Nebbiolo character - dried rose petals, dust, kirsch - is in full effect with tertiary ten year character

Ooh, this is cool. Very high acid and tannins, balanced with red fruit, rosé petals and, yes, some traditional tar.

Crazy surreal experience, convinced it was Barolo, and great Barolo , shows how important the variety is. Perfume, tannin, acid, but most importantly, the nebulous Nebbiolo character.
