The 2020 Nemesis is made up of 88% Syrah, 7% Grenache and 5% Mourvèdre. It has a medium ruby-purple color and broody aromas of tar, blackberry and blueberry preserves with touches of cured meat and violet. The medium-bodied palate is chalky and energetic with a long, layered finish. Enjoy this easy-drinking wine over the next 3-5 years.

The 2017 Nemesis is a Syrah-based wine, blended with 12% Grenache, 7% Mourvèdre and 4% Graciano. It has a medium to deep ruby-purple color and very pure scents of fresh blackcurrants, blueberries, violet, sage, iron and graphite. The palate is full-bodied with mineral-laced fruits and loads of spicy accents. It has a firm but ripe supporting frame with juicy uplift and a long finish. What a beautifully balanced Syrah!

The dense purple 2008 Nemesis (always the heaviest in Syrah, with 85% Syrah and the rest Grenache and Mourvedre) is still youthful and intense, with plenty of body and hints of asphalt, graphite, blackberry and blueberry fruit, with some licorice and white chocolate. It is deep, full-bodied, rich, and should prove to be one of the longest lived wines of the 2008s from Trevisan, lasting well past a decade. (Not yet released)This is one of my favorite wineries in the Central Coast. The brain trust behind it is the one and only Matt Trevisan, who has moved into a state-of-the-art winery and barrel-aging facility. Additionally, he is just beginning to get some fruit off the first plantings in the 18-acre estate vineyard. Production is up to about 3,800 to 4,000 cases, although like everyone else in the Central Coast region, yields have been very small in 2007, 2008, and 2009. 2008 has turned out very well for Trevisan, but the yields were extremely small.Tel.
