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.

95 Points
This stellar Napa Valley Red Blend marries lush plum and cherry with Malbec's dark berry depth and Petit Verdot's structure and spice. Layered with notes of blackberry, violet, and cocoa, this silky wine finishes with smooth tannins and a whisper of toasted oak. Robust and mouth-filling, with spicy nuances, smooth tannins, firm structure, and a long lingering finish.
