Undergrowth, dried plum, cherry in alcohol, leather, balsamic wood. Smooth tannin, good persistence. You can feel the nature around the winery.

Excellent! Big, developed nose has deep, sour cherry sap, intense minerally, stony gravel, spice, and old cellar notes. Round and intense in the mouth. Rich, clingy flavors have sultry dark cherry and deep savory notes. Tannins are present but soft and resolved. Long finish. This was a gift from my brother, so thanks Ang!

A little harsh at first; it needs to breathe.

At Cindy David's. 7/17/18. Excellent wine with well balanced nose and palate of acids and fruits and earth. Must be good value! Well actually $25 back then. Good read of email.

This was amazing. What a value for the price. Put down that Brunello that costs twice as much and get this: big, full, round fruit with some earthiness. Tannins got light with a little airtime. Thoroughly enjoyable. Get some.

Dry with minerally taste and hints of blueberry. Very nice and different wine than I've been drinking lately. I welcome the change.
