March 15, 2022 - I don't have too much to convey. This wine was quite enjoyable on day1 and slightly less so on day3 where the fruit dried out some. Still, the wine presented with very good depth for the price class, was fresh and alive (particularly on day1) and showed a classic Sangio flavor profile with a good mix of earth, red dusty fruit, and some more floral tobacco and leather components. This is definitely a house I'll keep an eye on for the future.

May 30, 2021 - Agree with last person’s tasting notes...flavors of dark cherry, dried orange peel, black tea and must. Medium plus acidity, fairly dry, restrained fruit. A little tight out of the bottle. Opened up after 45 minutes in the glass. Was actually better the next day.

March 18, 2021 - Full ruby color with clarity. Vivid aromatics - black cherry, orange zest, musk, fresh hibiscus, black tea. Succulent, vivid fruit on the palate, black and red, with stony mineral notes, dried florals and anise seed. Mid-weight, medium-plus acid, fleshy round tannins and zesty depth on the finish.

December 27, 2020 - Brick red in complexion, aromas of cherry, plum and oak. On the palate it’s a young semi dry wine with light tannic structure. It’s light to medium bodied. It’s could use some aging and is very young and fruity right now. Drink in 2 years.
