97% #sangiovese 3% Syrah #sthelena #napawine only 730 cases de stemmed grapes but not crushed to lessen extraction. On the nose and palate red fruits (cherries and ripe strawberry rhubarb) secondary aromas of herbal (sage and ash) and of oak (mocha).

This is my kind of wine! I have always been a fan of Benessere, but just got back in the wine club. The Sangiovese is great with almost anything - but unlike the true Italian versions, it tastes great even without food.
