This wine is energetic and precise. Bright aromatics of cherry cordial, plum compote, and toffee fill the nose, preparing the taster for a focused, fruit-forward palate of boysenberry and ripe persimmon that transitions seamlessly into bold spice box tones and a medley of savory Italian spices. The finish is unforgettably graceful with juicy, mouth-watering acidity.

Winemaker Notes
Italian elegance meets California richness in this Sangiovese and Cabernet blend. The deeper, darker profile and finer grain tannins of the Cabernet from our Rutherford site help to refine the bright acidity and rustic tannins found in the Sangiovese planted to the western edge of our vineyard.
