Community Tasting Note

  June 9, 2010 - really surprisingly good. Pnp. On intial taste, I told my wife I'd call it ata $35 wine, and guessed I had paid $29 for it. When I looked it up and saw that it was actually $10, I was shocked. Great, subtle, but very italian nose of meat and smoke. Oak gets a little strong with some air, but it is still that nice old world, smokey roasted oak, not sweet, caramel or vanilla at all.
  
  Great weight, i think the listed 13% abv is probably a bit light, but nice acidity to counterbalance it. No idea what the blend is, but I would have guessed a sangio / cab blend from the nose.
