Lighter fruits in the mouth, surprisingly so. Things like blueberries alongside the more expected spice and leather. Its a high acid wine so food friendly. Crisp finish for a red.    (hide)

One is the complex taste. It has a lot to ... This wine is called anam cara or 'soul mate'. I love the story of it being the first wine the wine makers made together. I give as a gift for anniversaries and weddings. It is also a perfect start to a romantic evening with that special someone. I order by the case so I always have some around for that last minute special guest or gift. Enjo    (hide)

This is a wiwne that loves to be gulped rather than sipped. When I opened this deep red, almost purple wine, my nose got a rush of cherry bark and sweet young strawberry. There was a definite alcohol twang as well, but this mellowed with time spent in the glass. Early tastes revealed a good soft oak flavor, coupled with sweetness and freshness I haven’t found in recent tastings of California red blends, which have tended to favor Zinfndel and Cabernet. Credit that sweetness to the Sangiovese found in this superb wine. After a little time in the air (I recommend decanting this wine for at least an hour to soften it and open it up) and the wine lost some of its harsh alcohol and became far more fruity and juicy. This wine also has mellow, well balanced tannins that you feel mid-tongue. Overall, YUM!    (hide)
