Blend: Sangiovese (89%), Syrah (7.5%), Barbera (3.5%)
Appellation: Columbia Valley (WA)
Vineyards: Ciel du Cheval, Seven Hills, Coyote Canyon, McKinnley
Tasting Notes:
Aromas of jammy red fruit, licorice, and cardamom are accompanied by subtle notes of fresh-turned earth and charcoal. Flavors hinting at black plum, cherry, and clove give way to pomegranate and tamarind. This bright and lively wine has fresh and zesty Old World appeal, but is complemented with a rich and full palate more often expressed among wines from the New World. The fine but persistent tannins give structure to this wine, creating a blend that is characteristically food-friendly. Overall the impression is that of a robust wine possessing ripe fruit, firm acidity and soft, talc-like tannins.
Food Suggestions:
Pair this selection with rustic Bruschetta, hearty pastas, grilled rosemary chicken or pork, roasted vegetables, Spanish tapas and paella.
