2018 vintage. Settling down a little bit since last visit 10.24.21. Medium/medium-heavy body. Starts off Napa, finishes Right bank. Velveteen and hazelnut nose. Slacker tannic presence. Still fairly flashy yet substantial-esp for the price. Tremendous value and drinking slightly better than nearly seven months ago. — 2 years ago

Austere aromatically. Slightly more giving on the palate and in a juicy style, with framboise, brown sugar, black olive, and wet clay. — 8 years ago

Very fruity and approachable, very ripe. Fruit driven. Body driven more by alcohol and tannin than acid. A very drinkable and delicious wine — 8 years ago

Giovanna Morganti: Podere Le Boncie. She's a fine and set apart winemaker in San Felice/Castelnuovo Berardenga. Her house is the cellar, her mystic garden the vineyard where she does home-grown her own sangiovese grapes and few others local vine variety (mammolo foglia-tonda colorino canaiolo) allowed in the Chianti Classico Appellation, with such a filial piety and discipline as they were kids in a kindergarden. "Le Trame" is the name of her A rated eldest child, a magnificent utterance of Tuscany through the wine. Here's instead, her declassified sangiovese under the IGT umbrella (Indicazione Geografica Tipica) called simply, 5 - with a touch of self-irony - which in terms of grades at the School would be C or D. I do adore this "slacker" and strapping "5" for the harshness sour inborn at the wine, a spontaneous expression of a very acidic and stoney soil too! — 9 years ago

This time it is the real Patria Avoyelles...Thanks Paul T for pointing out my gaffe between the Patria Oakville Ranch Cabernet Sauvignon and this amazing blend of 56% Cabernet Franc, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon and 9% PetitVerdot! Not that the Cab was any slacker, but the Avoyelles is a noticeable jump in depth and feel across the tongue. Tony Biagi is killing it! — 7 years ago

That year's slacker. Only 99pts? Should've paid attention in class. — 9 years ago
