Awesome wine. If I had tasted this blind I would definitely not have been able to tell you it was from California. Very true to the typical Sangiovese.

Excellent Sangiovese. Fruit forward, strong aromas. Smooth tannins.

Beautiful #sangiovese #sonomacounty red. Spicy pepper aroma, forest floor, touch of nail polish nose. Lovely acid / fruit balance on the palate, soft tannins with a long juicy cherry finish. Pairs quite well with medium spicy Nepalese-Indian food.
