15 years late according to cellar tracker but surprisingly good. I bought for the sake of history (doing a Napa course right now) and didn’t expect to be able to get through more than a glass. A nice surprise, still intense aromas and some tannic background and lots of sour cherries. Lucked out with this one. Yum.

14.4% ABV. $30 in about 1998. Amber edge in the glass. Reticent nose. Touch of dry herbs. Currant, cherry fruit. Dry cherry fruit and dry herbs. Relatively low acidity. Well past its prime, but more alive than I expected.

88% Sangiovese, 12% Cabernet Sauvignon - Good concentration with sweet fruit. Better than I was expecting. Nice expression of California grown Sangiovese. Good nose too.
