Review: Horton Vineyards Nebbiolo

Wine: 2001 Horton Vineyards Nebbiolo



Review: The Horton Nebbiolo is actually a blend of 76% Nebbiolo, 10% Pinotage, 5% Tannat, 5% Petit Verdot, and 4% Touriga Nacional. The Petit Verdot adds some color to what is normally a very light wine, but the basic Nabbiolo characteristics remain. This is a light wine with aromas of cherry and raspberry. The aging has smoothed out nearly all of the tannins and left a nice wine, though one that is somewhat lacking in body.

Price: $20

Grade: 80
