Tasting Notes
The King! This blend is a core of ripe Sangiovese, blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, and touched with just a 3% kiss of Merlot and Syrah to polish its crown. It's a richly layered, complex blend that showcases the beauty of each grape varietal in very concentrated, velvety layers. Dried bing cherry, hints of blackberry, cedar and red licorice blend with touches of cassis, leather, minerals and vanilla spices. Structured tannins and bright acidity complete the wine so it's perfect with grilled meats and Italian foods. A rare gem that reflects its powerful mountain vineyard sites, and sells out each year! Patiently aged in the finest 100% oak barrels. Will age like a dream! 230 cases produced
