title: Novy 2005 Stolpman Vineyard Nebbiolo (Santa Ynez Valley)
description: Tannins are what help great Italian Nebbiolo age for many years, and this Santa Barbara expression of the variety is loaded with tannins. So much so that they lock down the palate with fierce astringency. So is it an ager? There's a polished depth of cherry and leather flavor, but it may not be enough for the long haul. Call it a work in progress.
variety: Nebbiolo
designation: Stolpman Vineyard
