Community Tasting Notes (average 86.8 pts. and median of 87 pts. in 82 notes) | |
| Tasted by KyleMittskus on 1/27/2010 & rated 89 points: It's in a really nice place right now. A few minutes in the glass and the alcohol subsides and some mild tannins show up on the mid palate. Really long finish, bright rich fruit. Sadly, this was my last bottle. On a side note, I think this wine will age longer than I originally anticipated. At least another year, but it's really pretty right now -- perhaps the best it's ever been. (194 views) | |

| Tasted by houtx on 5/3/2009 & rated 84 points: As much as it pains me to say it, I think this bottle was a distinct step down from the last one. Some of the lighter berry/fruit flavors are now elusive. The entire wine has softened, losing some of the punch it originally brought. Still incredibly smooth, with a light dance on the tongue, with fruit flavors weaving in and out amongst the dry sangiovese profile; but there is something missing. And that hurts. (1832 views) | |

| Tasted by Sakedrinker on 3/15/2009 & rated 83 points: Light color; still has fruity nose; lightly sweet, sour cherries; must; smoke and integrated tannin; light bodied; mild heat on end. Smoother than the last time I had it (4 months ago). (2191 views) | |
| Tasted by SirWinesALot on 3/11/2009 & rated 88 points: Drank over a few days with dinner(s). Still a great red color. Smell is still cherry-ish fruity. The taste was smoother than I remember from the last bottle, a nice change. Still the simple and tasty wine I first tasted months ago. (2155 views) | |

| From the wine.woot website: 2005 Sangiovese
About red wine SANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-veh-zeh"). Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica. WineAmerica (National Association of American Wineries) | Free the Grapes! California Wines (Wine Institute of California) California is one of the most diverse wine regions in the world, with almost 100 grape varieties grown in almost 10 viticultural areas, including dozens of different microclimates and soil types, as well as a very individualistic set of winemakers, many with international experience, which adds to and deepens that diversity.
