Why would anyone be surprised at all by this wine? Fox Hill is an incredible vineyard site and has proven it's merit in numerous ways with numerous producers in both red and white format. But for die hard Sangiovese fans; those that love the leather, the book shelf, the dried cherry, the licorice spice and baked earth...all that density and levity and taut structure, new world versions rarely stack up and often disappoint.

6 years into making this wine and I’ve never thought “crushed stones” as a tasting note. Sure it’s got all that l.stone luxardo cherry and baked  red earth and leather (think boulevardier) but peeking out around the edges after a bit of air is this crazy lil’ beguiling whiff of wet river rocks.
