So lovely; baking spices, resin, and notes of citrus. Torn between drinking it by its wonderful self or mixing it to make a beautiful martini. Not too sweet but somehow still smells like a perfect piece of carrot cake. — 11 years ago

Torn because the flavors showed so much delicious transparency and development--Leather! Cherry! Spice box!--but the lower acidity left it feeling a little flat. — 11 years ago

So sad this vineyard was torn out by Silver Oak to plant more swag cab . My last Sausal Sangiovese; it had great bang for the buck, and stood tall against the rest of Cal-ital's Sangiovese produced domestically — 11 years ago

If you have a chance to get the Reserva do it. Was torn between the 2008 and the 2009. Both rated very high, with a tiny price difference, so I went with the '08.

Great legs, great nose, and great flavor! I'm headed back to the store to get a few more bottles for that special dinner party.

This has to be one of the 5 best wines I've tasted this year! 8>) — 11 years ago

A strong white wine, perfect when you are torn between a white or red wine at the restaurant... — 11 years ago

Last of Lassaigne's Pinot Noir grapes are in here (10% of the blend, with 90% Chard)... they were torn out after the 2010 vintage. Get some while you still can! — 12 years ago

Beautifully aging. We have two more. It was so delicious with our steak that I am torn. Delayed or immediate gratification? — 11 years ago
