I liked this wine better younger. Very Very Ripe Fruit on the nose bordering on dried. Almost Pruney on the palette. A bit like an Amarone but not really. Smooth finish but short lived. I have a few left. I thought it had more longevity. Should drink soon.

A wonderful red. Really, quite impressive from start to finish. Did not expect such a bouquet from an AZ wine. It isn't produced in the Amorone style, but there seems to be a strong hint of raisin on the nose. The palette offers balanced tannins and good fruit. Just a well structured wine that performs beautifully with food. We had pork loin and broccoli and thought the paring was spot on.

Flavors fighting and intense. Not well integrated.

Plum, tobacco, smooth tannins. Quick finish. Good not great.

Not a big fan of Sangiovese and this is an odd blend with Cabernet/Barbera.
