title: Palmina 2008 Nebbiolo (Santa Barbara County)
description: The only Steve Clifton Nebbiolo of the vintage that's truly suitable for drinking now (though it too will last many years), this shows a focused acidity on the high-toned nose, with tight, almost crystallized cherry, rose and tar elements. Tart red fruit and black spices power the palate, which is well structured with intense tannins, but approachable today.
variety: Nebbiolo
