  Paella dinner with family and friends, drinking this and another wine, and again this 2006 McPherson Sangiovese was the crowd pleaser, particularly praised by our San Francisco visitor (originally from Europe). Funny how well the best Texas wine is received by people who don't have a regional prejudice! Anyway, it was smooth, well balanced and mouth filling from start to finish. wonderful aroma of sour cherry and currant. Oak well integrated. Only one bottle left of the 2006. Pity--should have bought more of this vintage! Isn't that always how it goes?

  Repeating everything said in our note of 1/18/2011. This wine is a crowd pleaser! Served with paella dinner with friends and it was a hit. Several demanded to see the bottle to prove it was a Texas wine that was so smooth, balanced, mouthfilling and fruity. We followed with the 2008 vintage which seemed a bit young and tannic by comparison, but perhaps time will mellow the 2008, too.

  McPherson has again shown that he is the Texas "master" of the Sangiovese grape! At four years since the vintage this wine has developed wonderfully. Sour cherry fruit with a hint of oak, smooth tannins and good balance of acidity. Terrific mouthfeel on the front as well as back of the palate. This is our wine of choice for Italian dishes, but also for Spanish Paella. It may be one of the most food-friendly medium bodied red wines we have ever enjoyed. We put some 2oo8 down to age for when we finish up our 2006!

  Good for Texas wine. Tasted sweeter than during tasting at Salado Wine Sellers, which may be because Texas wines seem to run sweet in general.
