As expected, the new world style brings a lot more fruit than usual to the nebbiolo varietal. The heart is still there, but some of the finer nuances are masked by the fruitiness. Beautiful tannin structure(the new world oaking makes this more approachable than say a barolo), a clay like flavor and some great leather notes. Dark cherry and other dark fruits take it through a nice finish. Glad I swung down into Oregon from Walla Walla to pick this up.
