Tre Nova 2010 Nebbaro Red Barbera-Nebbiolo (Columbia Valley (WA))

Country: US / Nebbaro Red
Variety: Barbera-Nebbiolo Washington
Winery: Tre Nova / Columbia Valley (WA)

The blend is 51% Nebbiolo and 49% Barbera. It’s aromatically intriguing, with a whiff of Asian spices and a dusting of cocoa powder. Though almost four years old, it hasn’t entirely jelled—it drinks like two different wines, one tart and acidic, with light red berry flavors; the other smooth and almost silky.
