So smooth with no sharp notes. The perfect balance, the perfect Italian red. Had at a16 w Itamar — 8 years ago
Very strong tannins but goes down smoothly. Went well with many of the meaty pastas at A16. — 8 years ago

This wine blew me away. Somm poured us a Blind taste after dinner at A16. He also reps the wine for the Importer Trumpet in SF. It's like crossing Pinot D'anuis/Cabernet or something bizarre. White pepper dominant but way too much structure to be Grenache. I think I called it Carignan. Who has the Trumpet portfolio in PDX? — 8 years ago
