March 6, 2010 - Really held up well for its age, and my first experience with California Sangiovese. Still a nice ruby red, with a nose reminiscent of an aged Tuscan. Bright red fruits and good acidity made this a tasty food wine that I'm glad to have tried!

November 22, 2008 - This one got lost in my cellar. Slightly past it's prime but very drinkable, silky finish with blackberry and smoke.
