Fantastic. Over delivers for the price in my opinion. Bright notes of red cherries, currants, flowers, and savory herbs. Great acid and fine tannins. There's a lot of umami character that's super graceful in nature. Meat, leather, tobacco, blood orange, spice cake. So much juicy acid. With a soft chill it's incredibly hard to keep around

Meaty, savory, ripe cherry, violet. Great sense of earth and pure Sangiovese fruit. Fresh with just enough tannic grip. Deep herbal notes bringing part of my brain back to S. Rhône. Pleasantly herbaceous.

Bursting red currant nose. Spectacular finesse. Crisp raspberry tart, sage underbrush, delightful and reassuringly playful tannins.

Fine silky tannin. Cherry fruit. An enjoyable choice for a barette steak.

A gentle wine with purity and elegance, red fruits, sweet tobacco, fresh cut wild flowers, fantastic acidity with a nicely polished finish.
