Deep ruby red, clear rim, wine was well above the shoulder. The cork was in perfect condition. Decanted for an hour. Fair amount of sediment. Dark fruit with a hint of spice on the nose. Medium bodied, well balanced, soft tannins and dark fruit on the palate. Another lovely surprise from the big, bold, ripe, tannic '14 I just tasted at the vineyard!

Bright ruby red. Ripe black raspberries, sweet dark cherries, spice and violet floral notes on the nose. Medium bodied, well balanced, smooth, rich, ripe dark cherry, dark raspberries and spices on the palate. Long smooth finish. A dramatic difference from the 2009 Homer tasted at the Knightsbridge Oregon wine tasting from the same cellar 3/25/18

Deep garnet red. Typical Sangiovese nose, floral aromas of cedar, red cherries and spices. Lovely mouth feel, bright acidity, fine grain tannins but not quite balanced, excellent depth. This is showing beautifully but still needs a few more years in the cellar to be truly appreciated.
