"One of the few California sangioveses that captures the Tuscan grape's tension and complexity really well. Floral, herbaceous, peppery aromas lead to a rich palate of dark fruit, cranberries, sage and leather. Full-bodied. From organically grown grapes. Drink now or hold."

"The 2022 Sangiovese Estate opens with aromas of dried red fruits, underbrush, cinnamon and dried flowers. The palate is high-toned and refreshing yet maintains a grounded, seamless texture. It closes with a pure, lifted finish and drying, dusty tannins."
