F-ing amazing wine. Better than when we tasted at the winery. Big, deep layers of flavors.

Nothing on the nose but an interesting mix of dark fruit, plum, cola and rhubarb to taste with a slight dry pepper finish.

Obviously Kirk Venge makes some great cabs, but I think sangio and petite sirah perfectly suit his style. The zins are a tad too jammy for me now. I do miss the penny lane vineyard sangio version from oakville for its tannins, structure, and liveliness, but this atlas peak vineyard makes a wine that is pretty graceful, serious, and drinkable.

A little in your face at first, but after an hour very smooth. From Antinori's Antica vineyards

One of my favorite bottles of wine under 50 bucks. And i said wine and not sangio, because this doesn't taste like sangio. It's a bold red wine...sangio run through charbono skins ripasso style. Darker, spicier, more tannin.
