Nose is jammy with cherry and a bit of leather. Tastes of dark fruit, dark cherry, oak. Medium body and acid, good finish. — 5 years ago

9.3

Different than the typical pinot, jammy, smokey/oakey and just generally delicious. More trannic than a typical pinot, but well balanced. Has a medium body and a nice finish that balances the flavors. — 5 years ago

2018 vintage is 100% Petit Verdot as far as I can tell.
Violet color. Dark ripe fruit, anise, small amount of oak. Tastes of black cherry, dark fruit, oak, and a hint of anise. Delicious.

Well balanced, smooth yet the right amount of tannins. You can taste the Italian heritage of the man who made this wine in each glass. Made the traditional old world way, very uncommon in today's market. Delicious, so easy to drink. — 5 years ago

Another delicious bottle. Even after being open a few days it's drinking smooth and full bodied with no off flavors or smells. I think we will have to go back and get a case of this. — 5 years ago

8.6

Organic, biodynamic red. Nose has slight blackberry fruit not much else.
Ripe cherry and a blue berry to black berry, finish drops off and is flat. For $5 and organic, a nice wine to have with dinner. In a clear flip top bottle, strangest packaging.

Nice with dinner.
Jammy, oak, vanilla, black and boysenberry jam. Body is a medium minus, really could use more. Finish is ok but lacking, see body. Tannins are not big but are there, balance is ok but could use just a tad more tannins.
