Crunchy almost snappy red berries, sticks and earth and a nice salty character at the finish...Overshooting it’s $15 price tag by far. Good Ol’ School Sangiovese!

Tasted sharp and a bit spoiled. I thought that maybe the dishwater used to rinse the glass was lingering.

Essence of Old School Sangio. Some volatility, so if you are sensitive, steer clear. It rocked with my Ragú al Cinghiale

Raved about by staff at K&L but was disappointing. Seemed a little off, with some sour notes.

Nope. Gross. Tasted like gift shop lounge wine.

Dumped the bottle. Tasted cheap and had a hard finish like Manischewitz. Didn't taste fresh or light. Reminded me of airplane or mini bar wine and the "packaged" tone of all California wines. Dumped the bottle.

Buy half-a-case of this or any other established names from the '15 vintage and cellar. Start taking a peek around 2019 and match it up with anything Italian. Molto Buona. (My guess is that in a few years my score will definitely creep up.)

Mushroom tomato. Some folks get bacon but not as savory to me.
