winemaker's notes:

Number 17 on the Wine.com 100 of 2007!

"...a stunning example of Sangiovese that should drink well for 2-3 years. This wine represents incredible value for the money."
-Wine Advocate

Made from 100% Sangiovese grown in the Sciabolone and Martarosa vineyards and harvested in late October. The wine is aged in large oak barrels for 6 months. This Sangiovese exhibits a fresh bouquet of violets and woodland berries. It is smooth and refreshing on the palate with loads of ripe fruit and represents an excellent value.

 I would buy this wine again

Still a bit young, but full of life. Has a summer berry aroma with a chocolate velvety texture. If you are into Italian wines then it is a great value. Oh, definately has an acidic kick on the back end, which makes it a bit dry. A great wine none the less!

A Customer - Virginia
Excellent wine, good leggs, nose, and forward fruit. A very good Sangiovese. I will buy more

A Customer - Seattle
A great Sangiovese for the money. The bright ruby color sparkles like a jewell in the glass when held up to the light. The aroma is softly floral and has hints of of fresh berries. In the mouth it's intensely fruity and as refreshing as a red wine can be. It's the perfect summer wine for barbecue meat or fowl, or would match sublimely with grilled Alaskan king salmon.

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.
