High expectations, coming from Silverado, but a rather ho-hum wine. Not bad, not great, not distinctive either. Still love the winery, but disappointed in this bottling.

Not sure what to do with this one - doesn't really strike me as a great super Tuscan or even a really great wine for that matter.

Fairly fruit forward, but perhaps a bit stewy. Ultimately, I think this is overpriced for what it is . . . good enough, not great. Certainly not $45 great. Salud!

Not too good. Just a plain wine for a big price.
