Ruby in color with a wide reddish rim.
Fruity nose with cherries, raspberries, light wood, vegetables, barnyard, tobacco leaf, eucalyptus, spices and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.
Dry on the palate with cherries, plums, currants, licorice, spices, cedar, chocolates, tobacco, herbs and black pepper.
Nice finish with soft tannins and tangy raspberries.
This is a tasty and interesting Sangiovese from Napa valley. Feels like a light super Tuscan. Easy drinking and good with food.
Good by itself, but needs 45 minutes in a decanter to open up properly, so be patient.
Still young and will be better in the next few years. This Single Vineyard is showing mild complexity at this point.
A very interesting interpretation of Sangiovese. I had the 2018 last year and it is very consistent.
A blend of 97% Sangiovese with 3% Merlot. Aged for 18 months in French oak barrels (35% new).
14.7% alcohol by volume.
90 points.

Really impressed with this Merlot. Powerful fruit on the nose. Structured tannins. Layers or red and black fruit. Elegant and delicious. — a month ago
Ripe fruit, good acid, balanced and finish well. Drinking 2012 in Aug '24, fantastic bottle to share on a late summer evening paired with prime tenderloin, with my beautiful wife. — 10 months ago

Classic Napa cab. Constrained fruit, mellow tannins, good structure. Beautiful cassis notes. This bottle was a gift. After looking up the prices I was pretty shocked. Totally not worth North of $150. — 17 days ago
