Napa Valley winery visits April 26 : Aromas of orange zest, mineral, tobacco and chocolate-covered cherry. Ripe and earthy on the palate with nice lively acid and supple tannins.

While young, this bottle was quite a bit better than I expected. It already has the right balance of fruit and minerality without the metallic edge I would expect from a young Sangiovese. This was a pleasant and enjoyable surprise.
