High toned red fruit, crisp acidity with some astringent green herbal/vegetal notes and hints of leather/tobacco. Fantastically food friendly. — 10 days ago

Garnet/ruby in color. Ripe cherries, overripe plum, soaked leather, dried rose petals, and Chinese five spice blend. Funky now, should open up for business soon. — 20 days ago

Fairly simple Chianti. Black cherry, ripe plum, spice and tobacco. Fairly dark color and soft flesh on the mid palate with very medium tannins. Perhaps a bit of Merlot in the blend? — 5 days ago

The 2016 Long Shadows 'Saggi' is a thrilling blend of Sangiovese (Boushey and Candy Mountain Vineyards) with 29% Cabernet Sauvignon (Weinbau Vineyard) and the remainder Syrah (Den Hoed Dutchman and Bacchus Vineyards). The nose is drop-dead gorgeous with bacon fat, black olive tapenade, mocha and fennel. The stunning range of aromas bring you back to the glass for more. Revealing a silky texture and a wonderfully ripe mouthfeel, this slowly unveils smoked meat, black tea, milk chocolate covered cherry and roasted fig flavors. Decadent, layered and downright delicious, this beautiful wine will enjoy an exceedingly long life in the cellar. Drink 20-9-2033- 95 — a day ago

This is a real sleeper. Sneaky concentration and complexity on the back with very rustic tobacco ash, mineral and woodsmoke character. Even a hint of black fruit showing up on the finish. Really fine effort. — 2 days ago

Sangiovese with a left bank vibe, dry and cedary, but nuanced and pure. Needs 2-3 more years in bottle, this will improve. — 6 days ago

Fully mature. Gorgeous. Cherry, earth, good grip and bite. Drink these over the next few years. Excellent value! — 9 days ago
