Wine Review: This dark ruby colored Sangiovese based wine from Silvio Nardi opens with a mild black cherry and cocoa bouquet with hints of red licorice, strawberry, and violets. On the palate, this wine is medium bodied with integrated medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is nicely balanced, very smooth, and delicate with nice tension. The flavor profile is a mild black cherry and dried strawberry blend with notes of gentle tobacco, red plum, and lingonberry. We also detected hints of cedar, black tea, and graphite. The finish is dry, and its rather dusty tannins are nicely sustained. We would pair this Brunello with a wild mushroom ravioli. Enjoy - KWGTP

Winemaker Notes: Ruby red color with intense, complex aromas at the nose, rich in ripe fruits, spices, and toasted notes. Enjoy with seasoned cheese and game meat.

On Wednesday, January 21, 2026, we interviewed Cole Ballentine once again. Cole is the co-winemaker, with his father William Ballentine Jr., at William Cole Winery. We first interviewed Cole when we covered his super-premium Predecessor Estate wines in April of 2025. This time around, we covered six wines from the William Cole winery. We started with a 2023 Chardonnay. Then we tried a 2022 red blend. From there, we covered four Cabernet Sauvignon wines. Those Cabs were from the following vintages: 2018, 2022, 2016, and 2009. It was a terrific portfolio tasting. In this post, you can learn what is new with Cole, learn about the William Cole Winery, and read our reviews of all of these impressive wines.
