Crowd-pleaser. Dark, yet easy drinking. — 8 years ago
Fading perhaps, but an elegant downside. The tar is subdued now and only apparent on the nose. The roses are everywhere and reflected even in the bricked color. The remaining fruit is high toned and elegant, with fig, olive, and bloody steak notes. Makes me think back to long lunches in a country Italian farm cafe. Nothing to do but eat, drink, and laugh. — 8 years ago

Really nice. Should definitely decant for at least an hour, could easily use more. Great earth, solid acid that keeps it refreshing, and still surprisingly persistent tannins. Overall very nice. Had at Babbo. — 9 years ago

At first this was reserved but it opened up to a beautiful wine with great fruit and acidity. Very pretty. — 10 years ago
From a favorite estate in the heart of Chianti comes this simply gorgeous Tuscan table wine for the table. 90'ish % Sangiovese with a splash of Merlot just to round-out the edges, the 2010 (Sebastiano) "Cappone" Chianti Classico, simply put, is a slam dunk.
For the buck: you will find few better.

Deep ruby color, pronounced primar aromas of ripe black fruits, secondary aromas of brown sugar, coffee and toffee. It has a fresh medium+ acidity, ripe soft tannins and high well integrated alcohol. Long finish. Can definitely age for 5-10 years. Truly #syrah the one way to recognize it's from #California is just a touch of sweetness and that alcohol, otherwise it would be very difficult to distinguish from any #worldclass #staritahills — 8 years ago
Diretto questo vino, subito profumi di fruttini e bacche nere, prugna disidratata, spezia dolce / piccante.. il sorso è sincero di rusticita' composta quasi elegante , minerale di grafite e carbone..morbidezza glicerica e freschezza equilibrano il sorso mentre la trama tannica perfeziona la chiusura.
