SummaryDetails

This 2009 Sangiovese shows forward aromas of concentrated red cherry and raspberry fruit along with savory and spicy elements of cinnamon, red pepper and bay leaf. The fruit flavors of cherry and red plum follow through to the palate with vanilla and baking spice accents. The rich texture, bright acidity and ample tannin structure carry these flavors through a long finish.

Winemaker Notes
While Sangiovese is an up-and-coming varietal for California, it is a long revered traditional Mediterranean varietal which has proven to be well suited to Sonoma County.

The Sangiovese fruit for this blend comes from vineyards in the Alexander Valley, Dry Creek Valley, and our estate vineyard in the Sonoma Valley. These appellations are known for their warm summer days and cool evening breezes that provide for excellent ripening and flavor maturity. The Syrah added to this vintage gives depth, structure and fruit complexity to the wine while respecting the varietal character of the Sangiovese. Small portions of Merlot and Barbera bring some softness and spice to complete the blend.

Food Pairing

This release of Sangiovese is delicious with hearty pastas, fowl and dishes that include parmesan cheese, tomatoes and basil. Also pairs well with rosemary chicken and roasted meats.
