Bangin' with a year and half in bottle after 22 months in 100% neutral wood. Fresh cracked black pepper, floral bing cherry and a juicy king drawn out finish. I'm going to drink more of this. — 9 years ago

Bought at a bar one night when they were doing half off bottles. Nice dry, tartness that I look for in a SB — 10 years ago

I really love these half bottles when I am dining solo. I also love what's in these bottles. Zesty and delicious. — 11 years ago

Pretty black-fruited for Sangio, but with undeniable complexity and verve. Lots of herbal bay leaf and oregano notes, sun-dried tomato, matched with cigar wrapper and baked clay minerality. Could be more graceful, but that's nit-picking. Plenty of life still in it, even out of half-bottle. Questionable if premium over the regular Chianti from Felsina is really worth it though... — 11 years ago

Extraordinary depth and purity. Hints of black tea and Asian spices around a core of sweet fruit. Wine of the year for 2012, once it dropped to a ludicrous $30 we bought half a case. Looking forward to the 09 — 12 years ago

Tried this at Camp 4 in Modesto. Then lucky enough to find a bottle at a wine shop in Half Moon Bay. It didn't disappoint in either of the places. Great Pinot from start to finish! 12-02-16 — 9 years ago

Not a half bad light with good fruit Pinot. But give it time to open up out of the bottle before you start drinking it. — 10 years ago

Produced from late picked grapes. Half the wine was fermented in new 225 French oak barrels. The other half not in wood at all. Portrays firm, clear peach and Limey flavors. — 12 years ago

the vines are well over 100 years old. Violets, blackberry bramble, much earth and a hint of chocolate. Big but not brawny. Stellar but rustic. Decant half and mix. — 10 years ago

9.2

Constrained fruit, with a ferny and eucalyptus note. Mid alcohol lifts dark fruit over a dusty chord of mineral and dry soil. Dried purple flowers, bay leaf on non-fruit. Finishes exceptionally clean with grippy, dry tannin that holds the acidity on almost a nebbiolo level, sans red fruit. Still could use half a decade, but shows incredible promise. Quite a showing. — 10 years ago

A gin for those who don't like gin. It has a crisp clean taste and is very refreshing. Great with ginger-ale or in a French 75. — 11 years ago
