What to Expect

Sangiovese's claim to fame is its role as the heart of Chianti, Brunello and many Super Tuscan wines though it is gaining ground as a varietal wine around the globe. When grown in a suitable location the grape's soft tannins, succulent acidity and moderately intense cherry and herb flavors make Sangiovese very easy to drink as well as supremely versatile at the dinner table.

Winemakers Notes

Brimming with red berry fruit, cocoa and warm cedary notes, our Sangiovese is made from grapes grown in Mendocino by third-generation vineyard owner Bob Gibson. This wine exhibits a great balance of ripe fruit, tannin and fresh acidity. Our Sangiovese complements a wide range of foods with a particular affinity for tomato-based pasta dishes.AppellationMendocino100% SangioveseAlcohol 14.1%pH 3.90TA .51Barrel Aging8 Months40% new French oak & 10% new American oakProduction 1,335 CasesReleased Summer 2008

Lightly smoky, dried meats, integrated cedar, dried cherries, layered and high toned with a touch of brownie oozing in, Nice aromatics with a touch of green tea lurking, sweet spices, strawberry jam notes, really ripe red fruits and a touch of apricot, sweetness that blossoms with air. Lovely lithe mouthfeel that is fairly seamless even though this is big, rich and relatively packed with tannin. Bitter cherry and bitter almond fruit offset the tannins which are a touch astringent but refreshing, nicely integrated acids, dark cherry fruit, a touch of brownie again, and a little bit of citron read more...peel, nicely assembled and balanced. Bracing, astringent finish, good length in a powerful style that isn’t overdone. A touch oaky and in need of a bit of cellar time but the fruit is deep enough to age well and there is plenty of intensity here. 92pts    (hide)
