This is our last bottle of 2005. It had a very nice nose of dark fruit with a nice balance of tannins and acidity. The finish was a little short but still acceptable.

This is holding up quite well and I wish I had a few more bottles. Drank over the last two nights with night 2 being just a tad smoother. Integrated light red fruit and a bit of oak (not much) with a longer tail than expected - particularly for an older sangiovese. Good balance and structure still with lingering white pepper on the finish.

Very good but not the great feel that I remember when we tasted and bought about 3 years ago so it may have lost a little. Nose seemed to be off a little.

Dark fruit aromas with dark fruit and subtle oak flavors. Lingering peppery finish. Definitely one of the better Californian sangioveses out there since many seem to be too thin in flavors compared to their Italian brethrens.

Fantastic bottle. Glad we sat on these for a while, the wine is at a really good place right now. Very nicely balanced.
