May 10, 2017 - Typical wonderful Mcpherson sangiovese! Agree with other taster's notes except to take issue with the idea that it doesn't age well. It does! This 2013 vintage (not available anymore in stores) is drinking very well even now. Having bought this wine since the early 2000s vintages, I can attest to the fact it probably peaks 2-3 years after release, if you can bear to wait that long to drink it!

February 5, 2016 - Intense nose of concentrated fruit, very dark color, medium to intense on the palate, very nice Sangiovese character. My first McPherson wine, definitely not to be the last. Compares very favorably with the Duchman version and with quality Italian productions. Recommended.

May 26, 2015 - Kind of a strange wine. Enjoyable, but strange. Served with about 20 minutes of bottle decanting ahead of it. Pressboard cork in the bottle. The nose is kind of a dark raspberry liqueur with a hint of raspberry ice cream. The wine pours a medium bodied red into the glass. Nose is intense. Actually rather nice. The front of this wine is sharply acidic with raspberry and strawberry. The middle almost has some kind of fig note in addition to the raspberry and strawberry. The finish is a tad bit sweet and probably the one thing I preferred the least here. Not much tannin on the finish. No acid on the finish, no pepper. Nice wine, probably would have been better with food, but I served it "a la carte" -- drink now. I don't think this one has any chance of aging.
