Tasting at winery. 85% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet...a Napa super Tuscan! Good strawberry and rec cherry start with some floral hints and cedar. More simple on palate with modest perceived acidity.

Tasting at winery. Bright black cherry aromas and flavors. Long fruit in middle with good acidity and moderate tannins. Better in another year or two, probably not a long-term cellar hold.

Tasting at winery. Leather and lingering black cherry aromas with some spice hints. Slightly fading fruits on palate with prominent earthy elements. Drink up soon.

Tasting at winery. Nice strawberry aromas. Bright flavors and good acidity, but not much nuance. Best to drink now through 2007.
