Wine Details
Pours a medium garnet in the glass. The nose is beautifully structured, with cherry preserves, cola, and dried cranberry all haloed by hibiscus and vanilla. On entry, raspberry and leather are followed by a zippy balsamic-like acidity that reveals small, firm tannins. The finish is classic Nebbiolo – leather, tobacco, and terroir. Definitely a cellar candidate for the patient.

Located near the cooling waterways of the Sacramento River Delta, Clarksburg is home to vineyards planted to dense clay and loam soils that receive fog and breezes from the San Francisco Bay. Microclimates here are similar to ones found in Napa and Sonoma to the west, and an open secret is that a number of high-profile wineries from these more prestigious regions purchase Clarksburg grapes (a common practice with less-famous appellations that have the quality but not the name recognition).
Lot 739 comes to us from a family estate that’s been farming the region for generations. Aged in oak for four years, this is really great wine that those of you with Old World-tuned palates will undoubtedly be quite happy with. It’s a terrific American expression of an Italian icon, and also one of our most limited releases of the year. Yours for half the original winery price.
