Funkiness just to the edge but not beyond in my book. Otherwise a decently balanced profile on the rustic side. — 5 months ago

So long since I’ve had a Rockpile wine and loved this!! Black and green pepper along with dark berries (raspberry and blackberry). An excellent jam flavor that just fits so well with bbq ribs. — 3 years ago

At a tasting at the impressive Antinori facility outside of Florence. 90% Sangiovese, 10% other red Tuscan varietals Brief notes. Red cherries and soil; young and tannic. Spotlessly made in this state of the art facility. Delectable: This is the DOCG Riserva - not available in your database. 10 weeks later on 8th November 2023 this wine was voted #7 in Wine Spectators Top 100 of 2023. — 8 months ago

History dates back to 1995 when on a lark, David Swift Phinney took a friend up on an offer & went to Florence, Italy to spend a semester “studying”. During that time, he was introduced to wine, how it was made, & got hooked. A Grenache, Syrah & Petite Sirah blend. Aromas of fresh ripe red fruits with floral & spice. On the palate flavors of cherry & raspberry with cacao & espresso notes on sweet savory soft tannins, well balanced, lingering finish ending with fruit & toasty oak. Nice! Consistent Quality! — 2 months ago

Good now, very short term aging benefit. — a year ago

Palate has rich berry fruit flavors, baked cherry, with tobacco, cacao & subtle spice. Soft tannins, long finish ending with seductive earthy tones. Nice, aged well! — 3 years ago
