First wine we are sampling of Gio's wines. Insanely dark in color, dark purplish red with an almost black core. Very intense aromas with a gamey but slightly tight attack straight from the bottle. As it opened it there were some notes of smoked/cured meats, grilled herbs, iron and thick savory notes. Day two and day three only added complexity to the nose with some coriander, cloves, cinnamon and light caramel. Full bodied with moderate plus tannins (7.5/10). Very dusty and tight with slight minerality on day one. Needed to open up and when it did the complexity only grew with savory notes, very dark fruits and dark cocoa. Slightly dry and long finish. Needs some time to fully develop but will be even better in a year or two. Drink till 2028.

2017 Vintage. 15.7 % Alcohol. Made by Giovanni Grandinetti, assistant winemaker at Herman Story Wines and has a similar experience as a huge wine loaded with fruit and plush mouthfeel. Great job Gio!

Different vineyards than the Shadow Canyon /Terra Bella 2013. More red fruits and less tannins then the 2013. Delicious.

Delicious. Will wait before opening opening. Really good Shadow Canyon fruit, cool climate acidic. Lots of tannins and lots of oak. Will be great when it mellows in a few years.
