Clear, deep purple wine with thin legs, cooked red fruit (cherry and plum) and notes of vanilla, mushroom, leather on the nose. Medium-light bodied mouthfeel, medium-low acidity with stewed red fruit and hints of vanilla with a light but medium-long finish. Not super complex but well balanced, fresh and fruity. Probably would go well with oily fish, sautéed mushrooms, creamy tomato sauces. — 4 years ago

Simply awesome. Cool climate Sangiovese is where it is at and this is a superb example. It’s such a clean and precise wine. Mid season cherries, sour cherries, glorious cherry flower and spices. Nice soil tones as well. Mineral undertones as well. Licorice. Stunning aromas. After air it’s just an insane perfume. The palate is terrific. Juicy, pure and very linear, with wonderful sweet/sour cherry fruit, a hit of mid palate opulence and wonderful velvety, perfectly ripe tannins. Terrific freshness. Has the guts and structure for at least 10-12 years of aging and improving. Wonderful stuff. — 6 years ago

BlackBerry. Tannic. Fully flavored with solid 14% alcohol content. Strong, long lasting aroma and flavor. A vibrant, and satisfying Sangiovese. Would stand up well to spicy foods, or heavily flavored meat. — 7 years ago

Just tasting it for first time on day two but very impressed. You can almost smell the creaminess along with the floral intensity. Palate is rich but also has zippy acid in a very white Burgundy kind of way. — 7 years ago

A tad oxidative on the nose. Plums, dark berries, pipe tobacco, smoke, exotic spice, vanilla. Frame filled out nicely by grainy tannins. — 7 years ago

Fantastic! Light and insanely crisp. The acid is about as vibrant as Albariño gets. Green apple and minerals. And the bottle was only 13€ in a restaurant. Can't beat it. — 9 years ago

A really good Cava, especially when you consider the retail price ($12.99). Straw, golden apple, rosemary notes. Same on the palate, rich enough to mention it, huge finish, minerally, pretty, small, bubbles. I like it a lot, ya know, considering everything? — 8 years ago
