Wine Details
Price:
$32.00 per bottle
Description:
Inspired by the “Super Tuscan” red wines of Italy, our 2004 Napa Valley Sangiovese is blended with 12% Cabernet Sauvignon. Rich Cabernet aromas of cassis and licorice complement the wine’s high fruit tones and earthy, spicy bouquet. On the palate, the Sangiovese's bright, red fruit flavors and firm acidity wrap around a dense, cherry-currant core of fruit. Slow-toasted, tight-grained French oak barrels, purchased from the historic Gamba cooperage in Piemonte, are another Italian connection and lend aromatic and textural complexity to the wine. Further hints of black cherries, orange zest, and saddle leather are revealed in its long, concentrated finish. While enjoyable now, the wine’s ripe, integrated tannins suggest to us that it will continue to improve over the next 4-6 years.
