10/10 every time. I can’t get enough. I wish I could library it but I can’t keep my hands off of it.

Rich and complex California Sangio! Beautiful notes of cinnamon, cherry and floral notes. One of the best offerings outside Italy. Stellar with home made ragu.

Best of the Livermore Valley. Lightly fruited nose, dark violet and nearly opaque hue, tastes of plums and cherries. Delicious.

Cherrys and Blackberries and fruity. Best Livermore wine I’ve tasted to date, as well as one of my overall favorites.
