A wee BP:
1. These two Sangios wern't totally shot; but they didn't have much fruit and resembled mostly an old Cab. Their colors were pretty brown and quite murkey; but they had been stored upside down and were given only 7-8 hrs to settle out. They were interesting to try...but mostly went down the drain.
