60/40 Carignan/Grenache...Opened as midweek foil for Filets and Bakers. Showing little sign of age... vibrant dark berry notes with noticeable ABV... bit more “modern” and fruit/forward than expected. Recall buying two of these at 50% discount. Probably at $15-20 a far price...but tasted fully “Parkerized”. Little if any sense of terroir or connection with place. — 7 years ago

Way too young! After double decanting and sitting for an hour, the fruit started to surface. Petroleum and leather on the initial nose, super tight and grippy tannins. The fruit does surface, a bouquet of dark berries, bakers chocolate and structure. Sit on this for another decade. — 9 years ago

Beautiful example of a riper-styled Zin. Classic nose of blackberry, brambly notes, gravel, and a little maple syrup. Rich and weighty, the fruit accented with earthy peaty notes and a bit of bakers chocolate. Long, savory finish. — 8 years ago

Boy this is good with 10 years on it. Iron red color with notes of bing cherry, dark soil, bakers chocolate and cinnamon. A touch of lavender and sage as well... It is soft and supple with a long finish. Almost Bordeaux like today and I really like it. Worth a visit to the estate if you're in chianti as well. — 10 years ago

Rich and soft style of Giggie. Nose has dark blackberry, some bakers chocolate, and a little bit of minerally earth. Brambly, intense blackberry fruit coats the mouth, with a note of moist earth/humus. Lots of soft tannin and a very pure, relatively long finish, in which an iron note lingers. I usually go for more terroir-driven Giggies, but this is well done in the more fruity style that avoids jamminess. — 10 years ago

Wine of the night. Took 3 hrs to really show its colors but this is a huge elegant Cab from Sacrashe. Loads of fruit and structure. Dark cherry, espresso, and bakers chocolate. This wine is massive but also very expressive and eloquent. — 8 years ago

Light and nimble with a seductive side. Nose of mulling spice and bakers caramel. Wonderfully integrated. Lovely flavors of carnations, lush cranberry/cherry, cardamom and spice on the back of the palate. Terrific length in the finish. — 9 years ago
