Ravensworth Hilltops Nebbiolo 2022
DOZEN: $496.80 or $41.40 each
This release marks the tenth year of Ravensworth in cahoots with the nebbiolo variety. Fermented and matured in large oak and left for 30 months.
Ravensworth has never trodden a conventional path with nebbiolo, though this veers a little bit more into that territory. That being said, it has a levity and freshness many miss in pursuing drier red territory – in essence, there’s an early and easy drinkability to this wine. Vibrant, tart red cherry fruitiness, a touch of char, smoked paprika, alpine herbs found in palate and bouquet. Tannins are fine, sleek, a little grainy and choc-powdery but seems to fit the brief here, though I’d love to see them integrate more. Very much pleasure zone stuff. (93+) MIKE BENNIE, The Wine Front
