Friday, January 1, 2021 - Excellent wine. More elegant than powerful. Notes of tart red cherries, roses, and tobacco, with some dried prunes and figs starting to emerge. This still tastes young, though it's certainly read to drink now.

I ate a sharp, hard sheep's milk cheese (San Andreas) with it. I think sangiovese pairs very well with hard, aged cheeses, especially sheep's milk cheeses. (Consistently, the website for San Andreas recommends pairing it with sangiovese. https://bellwetherfarms.com/wp-content/uploads/San-Andreas.pdf)
