What a great wine. Unfortunately, the price has caught up to the quality on these, but it is still worth the occasional splurge. I had originally tried this on release at the winery, it has really developed nicely since then. I believe it is 100% Sangiovese, but could not verify that. Purple in color, opaque and bright. The nose is big with black cherries, baking spice, some dark chocolate, and char. Full bodied. Firm tannins. Juicy acidity. On the palate, black cherries with slight forest floor and plenty of char. Wonderful texture. Long finish. Delicious. This is great on its own and will work well with bigger foods. It would be a nice wine with a Mushroom pasta in a cream or garlic sauce. Drink over the next ten to twenty years.
