July 11, 2015 - Enjoyable. Lush, racy, bright cassis and plum held together with traces of vanilla, leather. Good structure. I'd live here.
December 20, 2014 - Medium ruby red. Cherry, loam, tar, basil. Medium-full palate. Very nice balance, good backbone. Restrained, very good with food.
September 3, 2014 - Last of a case. Certainly on the lighter side; several guessed it was a Pinot Noir. Straightforward without a lot of complexity. Very much a new world version of this varietal.
July 21, 2014 - Nice red fruit. Drinking well now.
April 12, 2014 - Saturated red. Sour cherries, graphite and licorice on the nose. Silky on the palate with nicely integrated acidity. Varietally typical red fruit with some very nice earthy notes. The nose led me to expect a "hotter" alcoholic wine on the palate which did not arrive. Overall, I did not love this wine but that is coming from someone who is not a Sangiovese nut (I certainly enjoy a good one but it is not something that I search out to cellar).
May 21, 2013 - Smoky and slightly medicinal nose featuring cherry fruit. Smoky bacon flavors with jammy cranberries and plums.
February 1, 2013 - nice but still tight. some red berry fruit, mild tannin.
October 13, 2012 - Good solid sangiovese. Leather and dark fruit nose. Palate evolves in 3 phases; muted cherry; leather; and a long tobacco finish. Firm tannins with this bottle. Certainly can sit in the cellar if you enjoy a softer mouthfeel.
October 12, 2012 - Not a lot of notes here; recall that it was nice but not exceptional. New world red fruit without much in the way of tobacco or leather notes. Pleasant but not very complex.
October 8, 2012 - Tina tried. Loved it. Rated it 8.5 to 9
