winemaker's notes:

"Precisely ripe and perfectly balanced, this wine has an ease and tension, lasting on a crystal clear note of cherry, as if picked fresh off the tree in spring. There's more to it than just the cherry, with floral scents of violets and a lacy geode of minerals within the fruit. Luscious tannin smoothes the texture, making it approachable now; this blend of 90-percent sangiovese with cabernet sauvignon is more immediately accessible than the Badia a Passignano, and should age beautifully over the next 10 years."
-Wines & Spirits

Deep ruby red with garnet hues, it has pronounced cherry and violet fruit with tobacco, cedar and spicy leather nuances on the nose. It is a rich, full-bodied and rounded red wine of remarkable depth whose elegant structure will enable it to mature gracefully.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.

Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.

Organically grown grapes
