In 2008 we planted a half-acre of two Italian varieties, Barbera and Nebbiolo.  Both native to our heritage that, based on our research, we felt could produce outstanding wines on our site.  The trail planted at a higher vine density versus the original vineyard planting to optimize vine balance and cropped to a low yield to maximize grape cluster quality.  This Nebbiolo represents our first release of Nebbiolo from the planting.  The heavy clay soil in our vineyard accentuated the classic tar aromas of the Nebbiolo grape.  Aged 34-months in French oak barriques to soften the tannins, the result is a perfectly-balanced fruit forward red wine.
