Despite the cagily not helpful nature of the tech sheet which would not give me the percentages of cab s, Merlot, cab f and sangiovese in this I’m not mad at it. Juicy with good acid and I love a bit of acid. More red fruit than black, and lots of baking spices that have been socializing with olives. I hate olives but these olives had enough character to liven up the mix without being an overwhelming note. What I’m saying is these are the only olives I will ever associate with. Sorry that was a tangent this wine is yummy and on the lighter side of cab blends.

This was so fantastic! Bright, fruity, cherry notes followed by herbs and meat. Dank on the nose. Wonderful!!

Heavily influenced by the Sangiovese. Could pass for a Chianti, as it shares many of the characteristics, without the long finish that makes me love a Chianti. Lacks the body that defines a good Super Tuscan, so I'm hesitant to categorize this one that way either. It's like something in between & I like it.

Vanilla, cinnamon, first impression, red/black cherry, cassis, dark ruby red with purple hue, black currant, plum, friend prune, ripe fruit, med plus tannin. Smoky leather. Would guess this a new world wine if blind tasted.
