Young Guns of Wine Nebbiolo Deep Dive

YOUNG GUN OF WINE

For Clone VII, Young Gun of Wine did a deep dive into Nebbiolo where they reviewed our 2015 III and the 2015 Clone VII.  Both were awarded consensus picks ie they were in the top six lists of all 6 tasters and received cross support from the tasters.

 2015 Pipan Steel ‘Clone VII’ Alpine Valleys Nebbiolo:

The second of the Pipan Steel wines, this time from a single clone, made (Jane) Lopes’ top six: “A pretty, fresh, lifted style.  Front palate is subtle, a mix of dried red fruit and some rustic iodine notes. The palate is long and complex, with nice lift and structure.” As did (Leanne) Altmann’s: “Dried dark fruit, briary, sticks and earth.  Real interest here. Tannins are fine and mouth filling and provide real dryness…perhaps flying under the radar in this line-up. Impressive.”

Jane Lopes was at the time the Beverage Director at Attica and Leanne Altmann the Beverage Director for Andrew McConnell’s Trader House.
