January 24, 2020 - This is finally coming into a range worth drinking. It is an obscure wine that has some depth, but stops short of being rich mid pallet by a flavor I can't describe, but WS states as "saline". All that said, it was pleasing and would conclude with it's a great food wine that will compliment pastas well.

February 5, 2016 - Decanted 3 hours before pairing with Meatballs in Sugo. A nearly opaque ruby in the glass, the enchanting nose features black raspberry, blueberry, violet and earth. Excellent intensity and concentration, with ample acidity still, an intriguing note of incense joins on the finish. Was as good a pairing with the entree as possible. Will be on the lookout for more wines from this producer!

December 17, 2015 - PnVnD let air for 1hr. Purple almost saturated with garnet to clear edge. Very exuberant on the nose with sour cherry plum incense earth porcini espresso orange peel and tar. Medium weight with slightly burred tannins. Flavours nicely meld the best of sangiovese and the Cabernets. Still youthful but showing some complexity of age. Big racy and balanced. Sadly my last bottle but if I had more I would be drinking up over the next year.
