  Montefalco Visit '15; 9/15/2015-9/20/2015 (Montefalco, IT): Though the addition of Merlot to the blend softens this wine, removes that truly Sagrantinian bite on the finish, this wine is still pretty darn tasty. Red fruit, warm spices, chocolate.

  Mouth filling texture with a great finish. I would highly recommend decanting for an hour before drinking. Wife and I love drinking this wine a couple times a year.

  I drink a bottle of this every year or so, and I’m never disappointed. While this wine is more elegant and less intense than its Italian counterpoints, it’s still a hefty wine and should be decanted. If allowed to breathe, it will reward you with irresistible notes of potpourri and fresh rose petals. On the palate I was struck by the gorgeous fruit presence, most notably stewed cherries. This fruit is honest and natural. Also substantial notes of raw red meat. This is a wine that you sip slowly and relish. I crack open this bottle when I want a real treat. One thing about the most recent bottle (from last night) was that it didn’t seem to hold up well. I enjoyed the bottle much more during the first hour, after which it turned musky and tart. Nothing off-putting, though. I still enjoyed the wine a great deal and will continue to come back to it. One of the few Sagrantinos grown in California, and I would be hard-pressed to find one that exceeds it in quality.
