Black cherry, vanilla, licorice, oak, blackberry, raspberry and eucalyptus. Great structure and moderate tannins.

10/10 every time. I can’t get enough. I wish I could library it but I can’t keep my hands off of it.

Cherrys and Blackberries and fruity. Best Livermore wine I’ve tasted to date, as well as one of my overall favorites.

Delicious. Different from an Italian Sangiovese but a fantastic wine.

The best Livermore Valley wine I've had. Also the only Livermore Valley wine I've had, so it's a rather meaningless statement. More reminiscent of a Zinfandel than a true Italian Sangiovese, with its jammy fruit and strawberry and cherry preserve. An enjoyable drink, but lacking the overall depth and wild style of its Italian cousins.
