This 5 year old Sangiovese from Napa Valley is drinking very nicely now. Elegant and easy drinking.
Needs a few hours to open up properly, but good right out of the bottle too.
Smooth with nice complexity and mouthfeel. Tangy and interesting.
Will continue to drink nicely in the next 5 years.
A nice interpretation of a New World Sangiovese.
Good by itself, and will pair nicely with barbecue meats.

A very pretty color of ruby with a wide reddish/ brownish rim.
Fruity nose with raspberries, cherries, black currants, black plums, light oak, light vanilla, Mediterranean spices, licorice, chocolates, tobacco and herbs.
Medium bodied and smooth, with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with black currants, plums, cooked cherries, green herbs, oak, earth, light vanilla, peppercorn and tobacco leaf.
Tangy finish with fine grained tannins and cranberries.
This is a very tasty and interesting Sangiovese from Napa Valley. Nicely balanced, tangy and fruit forward. Soft and elegant.
Needs a few hours in the decanter to open up properly, smooth out, and remove some of the acidity. I really enjoyed it after 3 hours.
An interesting expression of Sangiovese. Feels like a blend of old and new worlds.
The high alcohol is very integrated, so watch out.
I had the 2017 before, and it is very consistent.
A good food wine, but good by itself as well. I paired it with cheeses and light appetizers. Will pair nicely with red sauce Italian dishes.
