Bolder style pinot that’s right up my alley. Cherries in spades.

Yes! Diving into my Ancillary Cellar wines way young..but oh well; doing a side by side comparison between the Sun Chase and the Sangiocomo Vineyards! Both wines evaluated on day two!
Glass had to change..yep my one Zalto Burgundy glass literally broke in my hands as I was drying
it! No idea what I did..🤷‍♀️
Sangiocomo presents to be richer and a little more accessible now. Sun Chase not quite as ready..But I am detecting a wine that leans more towards Burgundy..more earth, acidity, and floral notes..In the long run I would guess Sun Chase for holding onto for further development. Sangiocomo is exciting with it's fruit and baking spice richness a little more palatable now!
Overall both really young. Wait if you have the willpower!

Light on its feet, with loads of cherries. Started out a bit dusty, but the fruit began to shine after an hour decant.
