I have written about V. Sattui before. Big noisy vineyard.
The more I have drank my way through my small collection of V. Sattui, the less I like it. My tastes may be changing a bit or maybe some of the wine I have tasted recently is just plain old better than this.
The wine is not bad, believe me. It is small insignificant quibbles I have. Maybe I don't like Grenache as much as I thought I did, or maybe I just don't really like this Grenache. You can't do everything well. There is bound to be one thing you excel at more than the others. I don't know.
Anyway, it is complex, but also tannic. Frankly it feels a little snooty. Maybe it's that little crown they put on the label. Maybe if I wore a crown while drinking it I would feel on the same level as the wine, instead of looked down upon for subjecting its flavor-mastery to my subordinate palate. I think they have better offerings.
Bottom line: Drink it if you must.
