Top Notes For
Jay Kline

Popped and poured; enjoyed over the course of two days. Better on Day 2. The 2021 pours a garnet color with a translucent core; medium viscosity, with light staining of the tears. On the nose, the wine is developing with notes of funky cherry, red rope licorice, carnations, espresso, mixed green herbs, and dry earth. On the palate, the wine is dry with medium+ tannin and medium+ acid. Confirming the notes from the nose. The finish is medium. Drink now through 2031.

Blend of 85-90% Sangiovese with the rest Cabernet Sauvignon. Deep Ruby color with aromas of dark fruits and perfumed spice. On the palate flavors of blackberry and currants with notes of citrus, tobacco and black pepper. Medium finish, fine tannins ending with fruit and spice. Organic farming practices.

Yummy. Has a lovely balance between the sweetness and ripeness of fruit and the pinch of acidity and juiciness. All primary notes, but juicy and yummy. More Mediterranean than I expected Youthful. #morellinodiscansano #morellino

Medium to deep ruby red. Savory and cherries on the nose. A bit of gravel too. Medium tannins (5.5/10) and balanced acidity. Medium to medium plus body. Needs a little time to open up. Cherries and lots of earthiness. Medium plus to long finish. Drink till 2024.

Sour cherry like a chianti, but brighter and fresher... like chianti's younger sister. Great house. These are the people that make Saffredi, ladies and gentlemen, they don't eff around.

Vintage 2014 / Such an interesting DOCG, and my goodness how much charm this Tuscan wine offers! Spicyness in smell, marzipan in taste. / Paired with lamb

A nice compliment to our steak tartare that we never order. Complimented the rich flavor and spicy sauces.

Tasty but a bit past it's prime. Just held on a bit too long.
