Always delicious. Blind, would've called modern Brunello; ripe red fruit, orange zest w enough lift to keep it flexible at the table

Interesting as always. Too many layers and flavors to list.

Shy at first, but opened up nicely over an hour- good balance. Shows mostly sangio with the body of a pinot, but you can definitely pick out the other varietal flavors in this as well.. Fun bottle- good QPR.

Phenomenal. An unexpected cornucopia of multiple fruits, very easy drinking in its first year with minimal structure

Nice wine but overrated. Lots of cherries and berries. Some baking space, cloves and earth balance it out.

Whoa. Lots happening here. Nice and subtle, earth (baby bits) fruit (baby bits) and too many other things that I don't know what it was. Bitchin. Buy it.
