  September 28, 2018 - Very different compared to the 2009 vintage. Wine lacks a clear image. Taste of licorace and rosemary. Dark red fruits in the background.
  Could benefit from a proper food pairing. Roast hare or stew with linguini.

  March 25, 2018 - Very well integrated. Dusty garnet color. Moderate acidity, softened tannins. Beautiful black cherry flavors & aromas, and a bit of warm spice. Went great with grilled steak and mushroom risotto. I only bought 1 bottle way back when, and I'm glad I drank it at peak.

  February 28, 2018 - Not my cup of tea (or wine, that is): reminiscent of Bordeaux style and overly alcoholic / "burnt". Last bottle of a case, glad it's over with.

  November 11, 2016 - "100% Carignano manually harvested in Oct & fermented in s/s vats for 10-15 days @ 86°F. Soon after the end of the tumultuous fermentation, a slow completion period follows while Malolactic fermentation progresses. 13.5% ABV, 1.5 g/L R.S., 5.4 g/L T.A., & 3.69 pH;”
  
  N: Closed; Some cherries, earth (forest floor?), poss whiffs of alch?
  
  P: Med body; Almost swtish frt (with hints of tobacco?) met by an astringent pucker which evolves into a lingering, still firm finish. Tasted perhaps a tad too cold? // Day 2: N: Ripe init, then not much, though POSS a hint of tobacco? P: Almost swtish frt counterbalanced by acidity. 92 pts WE (10/1/15) & their #1/Top 100 Best Buys for ’15! [As of late Apr '20, wine-searcher still shows 1 source @ $15].

  July 28, 2016 - This rustic wine grew on me with additional time. The nose is of earth, mold and wood. Cherry flavors with ode rate acidity. Long finish.
