Vintage Notes: Pierre Rovani of Robert Parkers’ “The Wine Advocate” called a recent vintage of our Sangiovese “Pure, well-balanced, and long, it is the finest American Sangiovese I have tasted to date.” We are proud of this accolade and believe it is reflective of our passion for this beautiful variety despite all it’s viticultural and enological challenges. When it all comes together, it is worth the pursuit! As a varietal that reflects it’s vine age with quality more than most, we feel that our maturing vineyards continue to improve yearly with increasing quality in terms of complexity and depth in the wines. Winemaker notes: With unusually dark color for Sangiovese and body to match, this wine has fantastic floral, raspberry puree, and intense pure fruit aromatics. A very small amount of new oak serves as a lovely background characteristic. The wine has great palate sweetness, intense acidic fruit and purity. As always with this lovely varietal, it has fantastic bracing acidity that allows it to pair with such a wide variety of foods.
