  I was worried that I may have held this wine too long but I am pleased to report that this wine was still clean and bold and held up fabulously with the Tomahawk Ribeye we cooked on the Traeger. We enjoyed the heck out of this wine. Still in its prime and doesn’t seem to be rolling over quite yet. First of all, we absolutely love Sagrantino and Mosby is one of the very few wineries growing and producing it. I do believe it requires some aging but is worth the wait. It is full bodied and has ample tannins to allow it to cellar nicely. Give it a try and drink it with anything you would eat with a cab. You will be very surprised. As good and a nice Cab for half the price. I need some more of this.

  Deep red in color with good body and awesome legs on the glass. I was afraid the wine wasn’t so good because the nose was very weak of dark fruit. However, the taste exploded with flavor of dark fruit and cassis on the front of the palate. On the back of the palate the still intact tannins with a dusty slate finish. Different from the Italian Sagrantinos that I have had. Just a difference in the terroir I suppose. Let this sit for a couple more years and I’m sure it will improve.

  Didn't really wow until night 3, was really surprised. Nice plum note characteristics on the nose giving way to a really full fruit and spice palate. The finish is quite nice.

  We bought after tasting in the tasting room and drank a couple of weeks later. This wine did not remind us of what we'd tasted. It wasn't corked or brett-y, but seemed a bit cooked, flabby and heavy. Drinkable with hearty fare.
