Vegetal on the nose (dominant bell pepper), light red fruit. Needs a half a dozen more years.

Oct 16th, 2016Strong perfume. The Cab Franc is definitely driving a more elegant and fragrant wine. This is a different than say a 2010. Well rounded and full of depth. Smokey and complex. I liked this very much but wouldn’t have thought it was a Solaia if tasting blind.

Mar 4th, 2024I sometimes wonder why I drink other wines…. This wine is so fantastic and so consistently fantastic it’s hard to justify my commitment to variety. Lovely violet color. Nose is full of robust lingering perfume. The balance and length always gets me. It’s constructed so well and deep. The fruit is mature but still has some kick of youth. Outstanding.
