Tasting Notes
Our Sangiovese offers a bouquet reminiscent of holiday cheer; clove-spiced cherry, cranberry compote, roasted figs, and vanilla wafer. On the palate, this wine is structured yet smooth, supported by a lifting acidity. Flavors of crumble-topped Italian plum tart and a hint of caramel sauce flow through the finish.

Although we experienced an unusually rainy period in April, drought conditions in Sonoma county continued in 2021, with most of the annual precipitation landing in October and December, 2020. Spring temperatures were cooler, with bud break occurring one week later than average, while summer temperatures were above average with less nightly fog and cloud cover. With minimal irrigation, the Sangiovese grapes were ready for harvesting in September, near the average pick date for the variety.
