Sipping Fine Wine

Deep Ruby red color with aromas of berry fruit and earthy spice, aged for 24 months in stainless and large oak barrels, Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon blend, #17 Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2025. On the palate flavors of cherry and plum with tobacco, floral and earthy flowery notes. Full-bodied, well balanced approachable tannins on a medium+ finish ending with fruit, espresso and a mineral character. Grab some Italian food and enjoy. — a month ago

A bit too much cassis flavours for my palate which I do not recall when I had my first bottle about a year ago. Nevertheless a very good wine — 9 months ago

Cherry. Spice, like anise and thyme. Chalky soil. Medium tannins. Medium plus finish. Medium plus perfume. Love Sangiovese but a little tight despite decanting — 4 years ago

Aromas - Almond, apple and a little bit of custard. Lovely in the mouth, slightly oily, a bit of acidity and some peach stone bitterness. Plenty to it for the money.

Ps (read the label after making this note - the label says papaya and I can see that - a papaya is also known as pawpaw or 'custard-apple', however in reality as well as tasting of apples and custard, papayas taste of sewage). — 5 years ago

Spicy light delish. My taste buds have also been dulled by a recent virus but it does taste spicy to me — 5 years ago

Big and rich with a bit of oak. Fruity- plums and blackberry and some pepper. Tannins were smooth and the wine had such a full, round feel. Excellent. — 6 years ago

2020 vintage, standard Chianti ruby red coloring, decent floral aromas on the nose, cherry and spice on the palette, complete shift in flavor after letting it breath for 30 minutes, it leaves a lingering but pleasant hint of smoke or burnt oak on the finish. — a month ago

Wow. This wine evolved from a bit off-balanced spicy austere wine to a deep complex earthy wine with layers of dark fruit. This is why I love wine. There is a story underneath the surface. — 6 months ago

Part 1 of a Columbia county weekend w/friends: a surprisingly rs leaning Sicilian white- accent on the white flowers & fruit, lower on acid. Never tasted this varietal. Rather a broad mouthfeel that went well w local charcuterie, cheese, & jaw dropping tomato salad w garden basil. This vintner makes also a spry Nero D’Avola. — 5 years ago

Perfect pizza wine. Actually works with something more serious but works very well with wood fired or coal fired pizza — 6 years ago

Nose: dusty pink roses elegant. Really pretty.

Palate: a bit tight. Laser cherries. Very bright. Long. Elegant. Tart cherries.
