Big beautiful color. Great on a cold night in Palo Alto. Sangiovese from Napa is rare. 2018 was a great year. Very nice! — 3 days ago
Absolutely perfect pairing with a nice filet of beef and crab cake. The nose gets your attention first of course and while it needs a bit of time out of the bottle, it’s totally worth it. Properly decanted and served at around 64-65 degrees, this is definitely worth seeking out again. — 3 months ago
Most of wine cool aged in French oak, the rest in stainless with weekly bâtonnage. Pale lemon color with aromas of stone and citrus fruits with toasty oak aromas. On the palate flavors of crisp apple and peach with citrus zest and nutty oak notes, well balanced with acidity. Medium+ finish ending with fruit, oak and mineral spice character. — 2 years ago

Sipping Fine Wine
Blend of 96% Merlot and 4% Cabernet Franc, deep Ruby with rich aromas of dark ripe fruit and herb spice notes. On the palate flavors of cherry, raspberry and plum with tobacco, cacao and cedar. Fine firm tannins, long finish ending with balanced mineral wrapped in cacao, tobacco and oak. A solid Merlot. — a day ago
