Hella grapefruity but with oxidative/nutty/honeyed notes and no pyrazines to speak of...delish, but never woulda guessed Sancerre in a million years! — 11 years ago

Not near as much mineral and earthiness as the 2004 I had the day before. This tasted much more California so to speak — 11 years ago

Ya know, really liked this stuff. So surprised! High acidity with pear and white flower. I hate to speak so casual, but just drink this. — 12 years ago

Amazing depth and clarity of fruit from nose to palate. Smells range from coffee-tar to mushroom mulch and black cherry au jus. Lovely cherry blossom notes intermingle with rose water. The tannins are big initially, but harmonize rapidly in the glass. The drying sensation in no way detracts from the fruit which is bright plum and melange of cherries including bing finishing with aloft raspberry pillow. The balance is there, the stony, schisty minerality, and the oak is perfect, allowing the wine to speak in all its elegant Chiantese! Muscle for the money!! Feed this beauty something earthy, beefy or both! — 11 years ago

Not exactly sure if Riedel makes a Schioppettino glass yet so a Bordeaux stem will have to do. This 2009 is full bodied; herbs and red fruit predominate but showing surprising acidity. Not much to speak of in the way of tannin. — 12 years ago

Pulled this out of the cellar as a three year throwback to our trip to Sonoma at March Break 2012. Color upon pouring was a deep ruby verging on purple. The cork had crystals developing. First nose and taste to come. It's breathing as we speak. The nose is quite soft, the fruits are balanced and the tannins are mellow. Finish is medium and quite pleasant. Per the winemaker, this vintage is a mix of Barbera, Zinfandel, Merlot and Syrah. Quite tasty! — 11 years ago

"Dolce naturale" = naturally sweet. I can't speak for other vintages, but the 2012 is, in fact, very balanced, but maybe not an easy one to understand. A traditional wine and a great one at that. — 12 years ago
