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.

Dark purple in color it opens with explosive aromas of wild blackberry, and a touch of vanilla oak. The palate is bursting with ripe juicy flavors of boysenberry, raspberry and wild cherry, accented by layers of cedar, cacao, cinnamon and briary spice. It’s bold enough to stand up to any BBQ, yet smooth enough to sip on the patio as the sun goes down. Enjoy now and for the next 6-8 years.
