2004 Linne Calodo Nemesis

Trevisan appears to be capable of producing powerful yet elegant wines with great precision, purity, and character. The dense purple-colored 2004 Nemesis (80% Syrah, 15% Mourvedre, and 5% Grenache) exhibits an open-knit, flamboyant, exuberant nose of black fruits, flowers, and spice. It displays great intensity on the palate, a savory, broad, expansive mouthfeel, superb purity, and a long, layered finish. Consume this stunning red over the next decade or more. Readers should not forget the Linne Calodo Zinfandel-dominated wines recommended in issue #164, the 2004 Cherry Red ($48; 95 points), 2004 Leona’s ($42; 91+ points), and 2004 Problem Child ($42; 92 points).
