I'm a lover of all things Graziano, and his four labels. Wine club member for full disclosure. His Monte Volpe Negroamaro doesn't disappoint. Nose has a lot of that spice/red clay that mendocino usually puts out. Unfortunately there's a decent dose of mercaptan going on. Great, great lively, juicy fruit on the palate. His wines are usually very low pH (I've seen some reds by him in the 3.25/3.35 range) naturally so. Keeps everything in order, and clean. Good midpalate. A lighter style wine. Finish is the tiniest bit short, but the acid cleans it up. Very light, elegant tannin structure. Retails about 20 bucks. Shits on wines double or triple the price. #california #californiawines #mendocino #negroamaro #red #redwine #italian #graziano #montevolpe

I think this is the best wine the Graziano family makes.
