Cima Walla Walla Valley

Cima Walla Walla Valley Wine Details
Price: $45.00 per bottle

Description: Cima, stylistically a child of the Supertuscan, is Seven Hills Vineyard sangiovese grosso blended with Bordeaux varietals from the Walla Walla Valley. As with its mentors of Brunello di Montalcino, Cima is aged two and a half years in new French oak and bottle aged one and a half years before release. I have affectionately dubbed Cima our “SUPERWALLAN”. The nose offers a semi sweet melding of rhubarb-strawberry, and black raspberry with cedar, pencil and thyme. A taste brings the unexpected pleasure of a dry Chambord liqueur, smoky-raw steak with minced black olives. Supple, almost chalky, tannins, playing off of a mellow tartness complete this culinary diva.
