January 17, 2022 - It was missing something. Kind of flat.

May 9, 2013 - Napa Valley winery visits April 26: Aromas of orange zest, mineral, tobacco and chocolate-covered cherry. Ripe and earthy on the palate with nice lively acid and supple tannins.

August 11, 2012 - Rutherford Grove Winery Tasting - August 2012 (Rutherford, California - Napa Valley): Garnet color with dark red fruits, violet and oak aromas. On the palate, it's medium-bodied with baked cherry, raspberry, and toasty oak flavors. Medium-long finish. Aged 18 months in 100% French Oak, 40% new, 60% 2-year old puncheons. 14.3% alcohol.

September 23, 2011 - While young, this bottle was quite a bit better than I expected. It already has the right balance of fruit and minerality without the metallic edge I would expect from a young Sangiovese. This was a pleasant and enjoyable surprise.
