Really excellent. Needs to breathe for 15-30 minutes to open up properly, then it rewards with dark fruit, balanced tannins, and subtle hints of spice. Great effort with a unique blend of varieties.

Excellent as always! Sour cherry, good acid balance. Integrated oak. Fruit depth from red berry on the front palate flowing to darker berry at the back. An extra year of age after initial release always adds complexity to Sangiovese from this producer. Solution: buy enough to lay down for a year, and buy this year's vintage when released to drink next year!

Nice value Pinot Noir. Sour cherry nose with red currant, cranberry, and baking spice flavors. Earthy back palate notes that remind us of Willamette Valley pinot, though this one is from Santa Barbara, but vinted and bottled in Sonoma, CA.
