Yeah, I really liked this. At times I have been disapointed that the tasting room experience does not carry over into the bottles I bring home. Decanted 2 hours, drank over 48 hrs. Light color and a little bit of a dirty brown mixed into the core, pink rim. Medium bodied nose with some floral notes supporting a hint of spice. Taste is very smooth and slightly sweet. Cherry cola transitions to a dark cherry reduction, some cedar as well. Lingering finish. Tasted alone, then with pizza, and then alone the next day. I was surprised how well it stood up to food. It seemed crisp and clear with the food, something that was lacking when tasted alone. I added a point for how well it paired with food. Would be better at $15/btl, but ...

Outstanding Sangiovese with a unique accent of spice. Nice smooth start and then a little pop at the finish of each sip. Easy to drink and very enjoyable.

Really nice fruit forward wine. Big flavors for a sangiovese. Very drinkable.

Nice Sangiovese, although because it's a Cali wine, there was a lot more fruit than earth. Still tasty, I think it can go another couple of years.
