Wow. Hey value Ripasso. Found you. Great ripe fruits and light spicy finish. Definitely adding to semi-regular rotation and bringing to friends. — 7 years ago

Ruby coloration with some transparency. On the nose, cherry, balsamic, vanilla, leather, crushed rock and earth. On the palate, medium to full body, cherry, currants, anise, espresso bean, leather, balsamic, vanilla and chocolate; a nicely layered palate with a medium to long finish. Tannins are still quite present but balanced. — 4 years ago

Serious cab franc. Very smooth. Very full. — 5 years ago
A good wine but not excellent. The texture is just too soft. Needs a stronger acid backbone. Otherwise, the fruit flavors are nicely accented with cut flowers on the nose, and slightly spiced on the palate. — 6 years ago
