A strong suit of the maker, Longview's nebbiolo embraces the often frustrating/lovable dichotomy of the grape: its floral aromatic heart and innate beauty in contrast to its tannic mean-ness. It's a balancing act performed with dexterity here as rose, cherry and musk aromas give way to a fine, textured palate transformed into firm tannic energy to close.

Alluring and intense fragrance of licorice root and dark cherry with nuances of violets and roses. Spicy and delicious; the palate is medium to full-bodied and complex, with rich, savoury fruit, refreshing acidity and structured dusty tannin. The wine finishes with a dried herbal note, silky and balanced.
