ratings pedigree (past vintages):
winemaker's notes:

Sangiovese 92%, Syrah 8%.

Beautiful, dark red color. The nose exhibits a gorgeous potpourri of flowers, thyme, and crushed raspberries. On the palate, the wine is remarkably fresh and clean with notable levity and lightness of being, all while retaining surprising intensity and density. I simply love the unique way that Sangiovese can achieve this! The tannin is wonderfully fine-grained and the acid matches perfectly. Sangiovese is our most challenging grape to farm—my favorite, and this is why!

alcohol by volume: 14.3%
critical acclaim:

"Good deep red. Enticing aromas of red and darker berries, licorice, coffee and cocoa powder, with a distinct sangiovese floral quality. Sweet, dense and vibrant, with nicely integrated acidity giving definition to the sexy flavors of berries, dried herbs and flowers. I find the lift of the 2008 vintage but winemaker Chris Figgins notes that this wine's acidity is average rather than especially high. "

International Wine Cellar

"Ripe and floral, this is tightly wound with refined tannins, as carnation and violet overtones add interest to the cherry fruit. Finishes with finesse. Best from 2012 through 2017."

91 Points

Wine Spectator

"Young, tangy and tart, with racy raspberries, strawberries and pomegranate––this is a vividly fruity and penetrating wine. Crisply defined, immaculately fresh, it is structured for both immediate enjoyment and cellaring over the next 6–8 years."
