Slightly past its peak, but still better than the Lakers tonight. Great floral nose, minty with cola and berries. The 2004 is better at the moment.

Medium to light body, Ruby garnet, very well balanced with still well endowed fruit, juicy acid and dissolved tannins showing through the finish. Well made! 4/16

2002 Sean Thackery Sangiovese Eaglepoint Ranch / although with some age still vibrant. It's like finding an old friend! Loved it.

Big 15.7 Sangiovese. Ripe and aromatic but seemingly not as weighty as the 15.7 would suggest. Fun.

Was hoping for a repeat of a great bottle about 5 years ago, but alas, corked. 😢

Sitting in a barn in Bolinas drinking an amazing Sangiovese. Doesn't get much better than this.
