I should have expected this: the 2013 vintage is great, but not drinking as well as the 2012, 2010, or 2008 vintages. And I love bright wines... this one’s pH is 3.11 according to Galloni. Needs a few more years for the acid to harmonize with the relatively heavy new oak flavors.

Aug 24th, 2015Classy stuff, with great fruit presence and lifted acidity. The oak is well-handled, but despite being flawlessly created, it's also somewhat boring....
