Fruity nose with cherries, raspberries, light wood, vegetables, barnyard, tobacco leaf, eucalyptus, spices and peppercorn.
Medium plus in body with medium plus acidity.

This is a tasty and interesting Sangiovese from Napa valley. Feels like a light super Tuscan. Easy drinking and good with food.
Good by itself, but needs 45 minutes in a decanter to open up properly, so be patient.
Still young and will be better in the next few years. This Single Vineyard is showing mild complexity at this point.
A very interesting interpretation of Sangiovese. I had the 2018 last year and it is very consistent.
