Community Tasting Note

Tim Heaton Likes this wine:

Saturday, July 8, 2017 - Restaurant (Lo Stella, recommended) list purchase, with about 45 minutes in decanter. Dark ruby color, clear. The first aromas are earthy, pungent, lightly roasted - some signs of the vintage. The dark berry aromas persist until mid-way through the second glass, and then the wine takes off, and never looks back, with something of an about face in terms of freshness and bright perfumes. It was about 2 months ago that I was with the winemaker at the cantina, I understand his winegrowing philosophy, his relationship to the vineyards - that all came out, with by the second hour, in this wine, it's a lovely effort despite the vintage's extremes. Drink now with at least 2 hours of air in decanter, or hold for (up to, 2023) mid-term cellaring. An excellent value in this lesser vintage; very good, medium-bodied food wine, with fine tannins and a medium(-) persistence. recommended+
