Wow. This was so good. Forgot what a fantastic Brunello can be. Took about an hour to open up. Beautiful nose and so much nuance — 15 days ago
Medium ruby color with a slight orange rim. Aromas of red fruit, leather, forest floor, orange zest and smokey oak. Flavors of red and black cherries and plums, tobacco, porcini mushrooms, black licorice, black olives and earthy spices. Long and expressive finish. Bold acidity and chewy tannins. Full bodied and incredibly well balanced. So complex and concentrated. Thanks to Petey and Kase for this Welcome to Cape May 2026 Vacation wine! — a month ago
Strong floral & spice on the nose when first opened. After 20 minutes decanted, delicate layers of cherry & blueberry fruit on the palate with light spice… and a very nice long finish. Soft tannins are pronounced.
This wine has not peaked. I will try it again in a couple of years. But it is delightful right now! — a month ago

A top quality Brunello - rich and succulent - ripe red cherry, savoury spices, touch of mint - many influences. A classy aromatic Brunello from a good vintage with many years to go. My first of the 2013s. It will be interesting to see how the other bottles develop over the next 5 to 10 years. — 7 days ago
Shine on this beautiful diamond. Opened this magnum 10/10/26, the 2001 is just showing so nicely. Just early and lovely, fine leather, soft silky tannins, dark cherries, violets, eucalyptus. Such a elegant long finish — 4 days ago

Traditional Sangiovese from a warm vintage — ripe but structured. Sour cherry, dried herbs, leather, balsamic, fine-grained tannin, bright acidity holding it all together. Entering its window now; the fruit has integrated and the tertiary notes are emerging. Built to drink through 2030+ but already showing well. — 2 months ago

Medium garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of dark cherries, forest floor, anise and crushed stones. Flavors of black cherries, balsamic vinegar, black licorice and dried leafy herbs. Touch of vanilla on the long lasting (dusty) finish. Firm (but nicely softened) tannins. Medium bodied. Great combination of complexity and texture. Beautifully delicate. Thank you Kasey and Petey for sharing this bottle. — 4 days ago
