The beautiful 2004 Sangiovese offers classic strawberry, earth, and leathery aromas, medium body, fine texture, a layered mouthfeel, and surprising depth. It is best consumed during its first 4-5 years of life. Previously recommended: 2002 Cabernet Sauvignon Reserve (96+), 2002 Reserve Claret (97+). Tel. (707) 963-4949; Fax (707) 963-6039

Unsuccessful at any price, especially this one. This is a disagreeable wine, acidic and harshly tannic, offering no pleasure and not going anywhere. ——S.H.(3/1/2007)—— 81
