Label says grapes are from Petaluma Gap, which I guess includes part of Marin County as well as Sonoma? Light in color, but lovely red floral aromas and dried red cherry and cranberry fruit flavors, very nice balance, drinking beautifully tonight, lingering finish, very well-done!! — 7 hours ago

I like the light touch on the extraction here but just a tad too much new oak for my taste. Delicately colored, with a boisterous nose that shows sappy, ripe but tangy red fruit, some nice moist gravel, and a floral note, but a fair amount of coconutty new oak. In the mouth, it’s not overly extracted and shows nice purity of fruit, but the oak flavors seem a tad too prominent, and there is significant oak-derived tannin in the finish. If the oak had been less prominent, this would have been a doozy!

UPDATE: On night 2, the oak is still prominent, so much so that this reminds me very much of an older style (American oak, light extraction) Rioja. Tasty, but not really indicative of Sangiovese. — 2 years ago

Lovely dark red color. Complimented with a fragrant nose of cherries, blackberry with black olives all expressed when drinking with a nice mouth feel. Finishes nicely with a lingering dark fruit flavor with that taste of black olives as it finishes. — 3 years ago

Strawberry candy nose (Hard candy)

Medium bodied - a steady stream of acidity, from start to finish and beyond.
Strawberry, watermelon, the slightest brush stroke Thai basil, that licorice type of mint.
