Tried these two over the last week:
1. HaarmeyerWineCllrs Nebbiolo Clarksburg (12.87%; www.HaarmeyerWineCellars.com) Craig Haarmeyer/WestSecramento 2018: Light garnet/slight orangey color; quite pretty Nebb/floral/lilacs/violets some earthy/loamy/Delta light rustic rather fragrant nose; fairly tart pretty floral/Nebb/lilacs/violets some earthy/loamy/Delta/mushroomy bit rustic flavor w/ light gentle tannins; long somewhat floral/Nebb/violets/rose petal some earthy/mushroomy/loamy bit rustic finish w/ light tannins; this is exactly how CharlieMeyers would make Delta Nebb out back of Wingo & Sons Upholstery if he could; a rather pretty/earthy/loamy expression of Nebb a bit like a lightweight Gattinara. $30.00 (CB)

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Bought these two last Fall on the rec of DarrellCorti. My first experience with Craig's wines. Craig took over Charlie Meyer's wnry in West Sacramento, back behind Wingo & Sons Upholstery, several yrs ago after Charlie died. I believe he was involved in bottling the last of Charlie's wines & moving them out the door for Margaret.
Both of these wines came across as lightweight/drinkable rather no-frills wine much like Charlie would make. Spoke both of their varieties and vnyd origins. Looking forward to trying other of Craig's wines.
