Recently purchased from Benchmark for $25, and I was a bit concerned it was over the hill. It was NOT! An amazing amount of fruit for a 15 yr old wine. Cherry, boysenberry, oak, earthy, red berries, One of the best sangioveses I've had in some time (although we did rarely drink them). Long finish, with a touch of complexity. Me - 93, Wife - 94

This is a delicious wine with no indication of getting old. It is heavier in the mouth than an Italian Sangiovese but taken on its own California terms, it is a wonderful drink. It will stand up to big meals.

Very smooth and flawless, with dark red fruit. Elegant. No rough edges. Round in mouth. Not sure if I would guess Sangiovese, but this was an excellent wine with home-made lentil soupl
