Wine Specs

Vintage 2008
Varietal Sangiovese
Appellation Sonoma
Our Rating 91

We’ve found the ultimate red for pairing with chicken or beef at your next cookout. Perfect for lounging in the backyard or sipping by the fire, this release combines two Italian varietals, Sangiovese and Primitivo (also known as red Zinfandel in the US), with small amounts of Barbera and Merlot.

In the spirit of the Tuscany, this soft, silky Sonoma County red blend offers smooth, lingering tannins. Aromas of Bing cherries and fresh strawberry jam gently entwined with soft caramel invite you to take your first sip.

You’ll find that it possesses the elegance of a fine Chianti, while displaying the polish of California’s premier growing regions. Its powerful fruit flavors, combined with its supple texture, appeal equally to enthusiast and novice alike.

2010 World Wine Competition, Silver, Highly Recommended, Best Buy
"Blueberry, tomato and herb aromas have nice purity and follow through on a supple entry to a dryish, savory medium-to-full body with a firm, char roasted pepper and powdery tannin finish. Try with tapas or pate."

 

Wine Profile

Tasting Notes This wine is a rare find from the soils of Sonoma. With the Chianti model as its starting point, it offers ripe, concentrated fruit. The nose delivers attractive aromas of cedar, tobacco and toffee with a touch of earthiness and minerals. Ripe cherry aromas are repeated in the mouth.
Food Pairing Notes The aromas of tobacco in this red call for grilled or barbecued dishes. Its cherry jam flavors along with spices and hints of leather marry beautifully with spare ribs covered in gobs of sweet tangy sauce. Serve with hearty foods such as marinated herbed lamb or grilled Italian sausages with potatoes, onions and bell peppers.
