(3/21/2024) "Made from 77% Cabernet Sauvignon, 17% Merlot and 6% Cabernet Franc, the 2020 Sestina immediately commands attention with its impressive volume and precision as it erupts in a symphony of freshness and focus, offering captivating notes of red and purple flowers, graphite, dark cherry and spiced plum skin. Possessing a full-bodied palate, the wine reveals hidden depths, with dusty blackberry and dusty dark plum dancing alongside flavors of spiced cherry compote. Sestina's balanced structure showcases lifting tannins and succulent acidity, culminating in a fine, long finish. This wine was made using native yeast and was fermented 60% in concrete. Aged for 21 months in 50% new French oak, the wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered, preserving its purity and earning a resounding "Bravo" for its excellence. It is my top pick from the range. Only 4,656 bottles produced. Drink Date: 2024 - 2040."

(7/1/2023) "The joy of this wine begins with a nose featuring boysenberry, marigold and orange peel. Chewy tannins and remarkably elevated acidity shepherd blueberry, blackberry, red apple and dark chocolate flavors directly to the portion of the brain that regulates pleasure. Enjoy 2025-2038, or longer."
