This sweetheart needed a good hour to open up to me. Very nice fruit (strawberries and blackberries), spices, licorice, and tobacco leaf. Firm tannins- very good with a simple meal of grilled pork chops, asparagus, and little potatoes.

Black cherry and violets commingle with red cherry lavender and raspberry in a clean, and enticing nose of fruit and flower. Blueberry, blackberry and cassis are extras, but this is not the fruit bomb the description conjures. There is something light, sunny and natural about the whole; wisps of sweet tobacco and vanilla blossom undulate on a forest and mushroom motif that feels springy, panoramic and breezy. The palate boasts dried cranberries, tangy raspberry and plump black cherry. Thyme a cinnamon dusting and the aforementioned tobacco, now a fine, smoky cigar. This one is gorgeous, and a testament to the estate. Ripe and juicy, but the oak is in check. Bravo! .

Super classic from a great vintage. Bright acids with leather, tobacco, smoke, and a touch of greenness. — 7 months ago

Not quite the correct wine...and this is far better than the 8.7s I’m seeing. Had this with fresh egg fettucini, homemade pasta sauce, and Waygu meatballs we made from ground beef we got at Snake River Farms. Another winner from our friends at Le volpe e’ l’uva in Florence! — 5 years ago
