WTN: Noceto Sangiovese Riserva '00...(short/boring)

Tried this ystrday from Sue's cellar:
1. VinoNoceto Sangiovese Riserva ShanandoahVlly/Calif (14.5%) Suzy & Jim Gullett/Plymouth 2000: Rather dark color w/ light bricking; rather dusty some pencilly/Am.oak some cherry/Sangio bit Tuscan-like slight Amador/briary some complex nose; fairly tart/tangy bit hard/tannic light pencilly/oak light cherry/Sangio fairly dusty/bit earthy/root cellar slight Amador/briary flavor w/ ample hard tannins; med.long tart/tangy/austere/hard/rustic slight Sangio/cherry dusty/earthy finish w/ ample hard tannins; very Sangio/Tuscan-like rather rough/rustic character & not much signs of evolution; probably never outlive the tannins & be a pleasurable wine.

A wee BloodyPulpit:
1. Noceto: Jim & Suzy Gullett specialize in Sangiovese. They own the old Ed&Kay Baldenelli property just East of BillEaston. The OV Zin vnyd was the source of the legendary Mayacamas LateHrvst Zin '72. The wnry has a distinct Italian theme to it. I was expecting more evolution to this Sangio, but it was still very much on the rough & rustic side.

Being rough and rustic at 20 years out is actually something of a feat in itself, though, isn't it? Btw, I remember the winery from a weekend in that area wherein the Noceto wines were my favorite of the trip.

Yeah, Jenise... that's something that struck me about this wine. It was showing no signs of drying out or over the hill. Just a wine that has not come together like you would hope.
