Sangiovese

Our 2008 Napa Valley Sangiovese is a deep garnet color. Perfumed aromas of raspberries, black cherries, lilacs, and rose petals come forward on the nose. The Merlot supports a chewy currant core on the mid-palate, accented by chocolate and hints of sandalwood. An interesting mineral note appears on the back of the palate, and firm, silky tannins hold the wine together. The finish is a lush thirty second trail of perfectly ripe, Bing cherries.

Lush, deep and impressively concentrated flavors of red currant, plum and spice, with smooth tannins that linger long in the finish.

Distinctly fruity and densely structured, with a natural balance and supple tannin finish.

Powerful fruit flavors, combined with a supple texture, will appeal equally to enthusiast and novice alike. 2010 World Wine Competition, Silver, Highly Recommended, Best Buy.

The marriage of Californian gloss with true Sangiovese character.
