April 21, 2023 - Grabbed this for $35 on auction, man what a steal. Phenomenal juice, the finest thus far this year, and likely the best Italian I've ever had.
Yes it screams new world ... but wasn't that the intent all along?
Seeking out more bangers across all vintages.
Drink now or enjoy for a half dozen more years. -

By Sean Sullivan
9/21/2011 (link) ***** points(Leonetti Cellar Sangiovese Walla Walla Valley) Brightly aromatic with cranberries, raspberries, floral notes, earth, and spice. Incredibly clean and powerfully rich, thundering across the palate with waves of tart red fruit flavors while never getting heavy or overweighted. Grabs the tongue, squeezes, and won’t let go. Exceptionally well-integrated tannins and a lingering, fruit filled finish. 92% Sangiovese, 8% Syrah. Pepper Bridge, Seven Hills, and Mill Creek Upland vineyards. Aged 22 months in mostly neutral French oak. 14.8% alcohol. 809 cases produced. Sample provided by winery.
