Not as great as when Mitch was making this wine, but a solid Sangio from Napa.

Really interesting wine, I would say it aspires to Brunello-type fruit with a more modern texture.

Opened some older bottles for girls' night earlier this week. Nice and light, fruity and great with our pizza!

Ripe fruit with a noticeable fruit forward characteristic that gives it a hedonist's dream of Chianti. Not enough acidity to balance the wine making it a good candidate as an aperitif or paired with fruitier dishes.

Enjoyed this bottle on Baker Beach. Little of of the traditional Sangiovese spice, with plenty of fruit to make it an easy cocktail wine.
