2011 | Linne Calodo | Nemesis

Opaque purple. Potent aromas of black and blue fruits, violet, licorice and olive, with a smoky mineral topnote. Sappy and precise, offering densely packed blueberry and cassis flavors and an exotic floral pastille nuance. The mineral quality comes back strong on the finish.

Reviews:

• Wine Advocate: Getting a big 'Wow!' in my notes, the 2011 Nemesis is smoking good! Offering up rich, full aromas and flavors of creme de cassis, black raspberry, cream, licorice, new leather and peppery notes, it flows onto the palate with voluptuously styled fruit and texture, yet never seems heavy or cumbersome in the least. Enjoy this pure, seamless and beautifully balanced 2011 over the coming decade.

• Vinous: The 2011 Nemesis wraps around the palate with gorgeous resonance and nuance. Blue and purplish-toned fruit, flowers and sweet spices wrap around the palate as the 2011 shows off its personality. There is wonderful depth in the glass, not to mention considerable near and medium term appeal. This is another gorgeous showing from Linne Calodo.

Producer Information

Founded in 1998 by Matt and Maureen Trevisan, Linne Calodo's name pays homage to the rich soils in the esteemed Paso Robles Willow Creek District. The team grows grapes, makes wines and fosters an environment that shies away from traditional, rigid and archetypal industry norms. Studying biochemistry at Cal Poly San Luis Obispo and working his way up at area wineries, Matt's winemaking style is a healthy balance of art and science. Linne Calodo produces seven to ten blends per year using a myriad of varietals: Rhone, Zinfandel, as well as other esoteric varietals from around the world. The Linne Calodo wines are driven by four factors: vineyard location, uncompromising viticultural practices, minimalist winemaking, and the desire to learn from experience. The vineyards are farmed sustainably and the crop loads reflect the natural balance of the vine. The Linne Calodo team believes in harvesting at the peak of ripeness to produce wines that are rich and concentrated in both flavor and texture. You are encouraged to visit!
