September 24, 2023 - A perfectly good wine; the bouquet deserves 91 points with its cherry, wild strawberry, violets, saddle, and earth. Needed an hour to soften and show its stuff. In the mouth, the red plum and cherry fruit flavors dominate, but this is just a little tart ,and it finishes a bit short and thin. Dusty skin tannins. But there’s enough bright red fruit acidity for it to show better with pasta and lamb chops. Ill hold the other few bottles I have for a year, and try again.

October 8, 2022 - Perfectly lovely after an hour of air, good with a steak dinner, but not sure it's worth the going rate

December 10, 2021 - No way, Jose…. Not a 95 pter, love Galloni, and appreciate his enthusiasm for a wine region getting on the map but let’s come down to earth here. This is a nice, interesting wine with plum, herbs, savory notes, but the midpalate is lacking fruit. 90-92 at best, and $60 is more than I’d spend for this wine.
