Loved this wine when I tasted it at the winery 7 years ago. Opened my only bottle now and it delivers what I remember. New world take on Sangiovese which has depth, texture and balance. Yes, it is fuller bodied and richer than old world Sangiovese but it is a delicious expression. Drinking well now, not sure if it will improve with age.

Bright red fruit on the savory side, with a nice acidic bite. Nice wine, but missing the earthy, foresty stuff you get from Italian Sangiovese. Still in excellent shape and should go another 5 years.

Short decant. Drank over two nights. Terrific aromatics of dark red fruit and a streak of pepper. Smooth in texture, rich red fruit profile, and a long finish. Really nice.

95+! A lovely wine. Primarly dark fruit on the nose and palate; mild tanins; very smooth. We tasted the '14 in the tasting room, and loved it, but bought the '13 on the tasting room host's recommendation. Decanted for a couple of hours, but snuck a taste first, and I would even say this one is good enough to P&P. Great on its own, but we paired with various types of pizza, and it did quite well. Will definitely buy again!

An unusual Sangiovese and we love it. Very big and fruity.
