Fantastic nose of ripe strawberries and slightly floral notes. The palate is a bit less developed, but shows cherries and earth, with dusty tannins. Good value. Went well with heirloom tomato caprese salad.

This wine has really developed nicely over the past year. It's fresh cherry fruit has turned darker and a little more serious with notes of gasoline that provide an interesting and pleasant contrast. There is also a distinct flavor of tobacco that comes through the finish. The fine, grippy tannins, suggest that it will improve even more with food.

Spices inthe nose. Taste: cherries and currants. Rather classic incarnation of sangiovese but nothing more.
