In 1876, brothers Giuseppe and Pietro Simi began making wine in San Fran from Sonoma grapes eventually planted vineyards near Healdsburg and building historic stone cellars in 1890, still used to age wines. Dark Ruby with complex red berry aromas. On the palate cherry and plum flavors with smoky oak and vanilla spice notes. Medium finish ending with toasty earthy tones.

Good solid Merlot with delicate fruit and vanilla oaked spices. Nothing fancy but went great with dinner.

It needs to breath but afterwards it still Has a bite on the tongue. Served with a dinner of homemade meatballs and pasta. Not a smooth delicious Merlot. Look elsewhere. I’ve tasted better. Not an enjoyable Merlot.

Deep butter, boysenberry, and blackberries on the nose. Right on the cusp of maturity in my humble opinion but absolutely wonderful. Full body of dark purple jams very little tannins. I took a gamble hoping that age would beautify this wine and I suspect that’s the case. Yum!

Nov 11th, 2020When I saw this 2011 and at 15% discount for Wine Wednesday and grabbed this up! Delicious! I suspect this wine is at its height of maturity. Smooth mellow mix strawberries and black currant. Wow
