TASTING NOTES
Opens with floral and sun kissed fruit tones showing signs of long development. Decadent black fruit aromatics lead to crisp and wild red fruits, and finishes with savory tones of toasted anise and tomato leaf, spice of fresh espresso, white peppercorn and sweet nutmeg. It’s drinking very well now and will last over 10 years. You'll surely be rewarded if you lay a few down. Overall, a classic style of Sangiovese to pair with wide-range of fine Mediterranean Cuisine, including grilled vegetables, charcuterie, grilled fish, pasta, barbecued chicken, pork chops and rare to medium-rare meats.

95 Points
This Napa Valley Oak Knoll 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.
