Mineral lean. Almost thin. But delicious concrete and flint. Last year for this vintage I think — 5 months ago
Dark ruby color. Aromas of black fruit, mint, poblano pepper and a pleasant funk. The palate features blackberry fruit, roasted vegetables, balsamic vinegar, fresh herbs and black pepper spice. Touch of vanilla on the long and lingering funky (almost animal-like) finish. Tannins, acidity and alcohol are very well balanced. Nice wine. Thanks for including in your Cabernet Franc tasting, Ron B! — 19 days ago
A great find by my dealer. One of the best bottles I’ve ever had. — 6 days ago
Dark straw gold color. Aromas and flavors of red and green apples, pears, white flowers, raw nuts, lemon curd and wet slate. Long lasting, slightly salty, and mineral laden finish. Viscous/creamy texture and very fruit forward. Medium body and medium-plus fresh acidity. Just a bit flabby. — 25 days ago
Mild acidity, tannins not too forward, dark fruity taste — a day ago
Lemon and nectar, smooth, easy to drink, paired well with a fresh salad and garlic chicken. — 5 months ago

Revelatory Montepulciano with Italian essence but Bordeaux character. Medium bodied with earthy fruit and restrained tannins, combined with notes of leather and cedar box and a hint of soy sauce. Mouthwatering food wine; the 2013 vintage is definitely ready to enjoy now. First glass was at Mother Wolf in LA (date night with Dreama) and most recently a bottle at home with my own beef stroganoff on a Sunday night. What a way to top off the weekend! — 3 days ago
