The band is in town and they brought their wine. Maynard James Keenan is the lead singer and owner of the winery. Cool wine. Light bodied Italian blend. Funky nose on the start but that has passed.

Garnet with light peach to the edges, not bad after a screw top and 5 years of bottle aging. Medium bodied, with a prominent red-fruit forward note, with hints of smoke and tar to the edges. Palate is fruit forward and accessible, with nice peppery notes, light tannins and slight bloody/meaty notes that linger into a dry finish. A nice, native, entry level Sangiovese. PS: Tasted great a week after, had real staying power with solid warmth and a nice, slightly acidic berry.

Well that went down too quickly. Not bad for a rockstar.
