Aromas of dried strawberries, cherry, goji berry, sweet tobacco, dried rose petals, and thyme. The flavor profile includes more cherry, cranberries, raspberry, sweet tomato, cedar, clove, and vanilla. Overall, a classic style of Sangiovese to pair with a wide-range of fine Mediterranean Cuisine, including grilled vegetables, charcuterie, grilled fish, pasta, barbequed chicken, pork chops and rare to medium-rare meats.
VINEYARD
Alice's Vineyard is a sweet little vineyard perfectly planted to grow Sangiovese like the great Brunnelo’s of Montalcino, Italy. All hand tended and very well-loved.
VINTAGE
The grapes were hand-picked, rushed to the winery and cold soaked for three days. We used BM-45 premium yeast to ferment, the same yeast used on the great Brunello wines from Italy. 100% Sangiovese.

93 Points
A beautiful garnet color in the glass. Aromas of pomegranate, vibrant cranberry, candied strawberry, gravel, and rose perfume lead to a palate of cinnamon, clove, tea leaf, bing cherry, a touch of earth, and an opulent, fleshy texture.
94 Points
Aromas of candied apple, lemon peel, and toasted marcona almond. The palate is rich yet finely balanced, offering a creamy texture lifted by bright acidity. Delicate and composed, it finishes with a gentle mineral snap and lingering citrus.
