Palate
Rum raisin, truffle and creosote notes are followed by bright raspberry and cherry, resulting in a wine that is continually evolving in the glass.
Growing Conditions
Our most limited production wine again lives up to its reputation as a rare example of California Sangiovese that is luscious rather than lean. The four rows of vines planted in our Sonoma County Mountain Top and Callie’s Vineyard blocks produce grapes ripened to a dark ruby color by plenty of sun exposure and merciless crop thinning.
The 500 ml bottles are filled, corked and labeled entirely by hand to create a wine that is a unique and well-kept secret.
Bottling
Bottled: Dec. 2007
Winemaking
By blending in no more than 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, we add texture without overpowering our Sangiovese’s characteristic flavor profile.
