Popped and poured. This wine exhibited a dark ruby/garnet color. On the nose, aromas of cherries, plum, and blackberries with hints of licorice and spice. At first, there was a good amount of heat from the nose that would eventually subside. On the palate, flavors of cherries, raspberries and blackberries were met with hints of herbs and earth. The finish was a bit short and the wine was a bit unbalanced-acidity wasn't balanced by the fruit and was a bit overbearing. HS87

Popped and poured. This wine is a blend of 50% Syrah and 50% Sangiovese. This wine exhibited a dark purple color and was a bit closed. With another 30 minutes in the glass, the nose would reveal scents of blackberries, black raspberries, and leather with hints of floral characteristics and mint. On the palate, flavors of black cherries and raspberries were met with licorice notes and earthy undertones. Decent finish with hints of chocolate and leather. Interesting wine and one that I'm glad I had the opportunity to try. HS90

Popped and poured. This wine exhibited a light straw yellow color with moderate effervescence. On the nose, yeast and toast notes were predominant with subtle hints of citrus aromas. On the palate, more yeast and toast with very little fruit. Not much of a finish in this wine. HS82
