WILLAMETTE VALLEY, OREGON
From Cameron Winery's 20-ish year old planting at Clos Electrique and the stunning vines at Alan Foster’s White Oak Vineyard on Ribbon Ridge, Cameron Nebbiolo is a labor of love. After three years in the cellar and one in the bottle, the winery is offering the 2021 vintage, the hottest year in the region on record and perhaps their strongest Nebbiolo to date. The nose offers very cool, ethereal aromas of menthol, leather, and dried rose petals. The palate is all Nebbiolo with its firm tannins, medium body and notes of orange peel, fine tobacco and dried porcini. Very Alto-Piemontese-like.
Enjoyable now with decanting and some hearty fare, this wine will really blossom over the next 7-15 years!
