Good Virginia wine. Smooth finish. Starts low key and builds to a great smooth finish. Tannins and leathers mix with a light fruit to finish well

Held up surprisingly well for a 2006. Dark cherry, plum compote, licorice and cedar with rusty steel, slate and wet gravel like minerality. Earthiness may have outweighed the fruit components but that should be expected from a 2006 VA Sangiovese.

Bright and fruit forward. Good representation out of a place that historically struggled with vinifera until folks like these really figured it out

Plum smell. Oatmeal smell? Very dark. Cherry taste, not sweet aftertaste
