Biodynamic-ish Sangiovese from California  

2 days ago by Jamie

Yet you have to respect the honesty and inte ...

Very earthy but identifiably "Chianti" nose of spicy, gravelly earth, sour dried cherries, and cedar. Lean but flavorful, with lot ...

A dark red in colour. The nose is elusive, and after 4 or 5 hours I was beginning to lose my patience, but I did ...
