2021 Sangiovese/Syrah
Tasting Notes
Enticing aromas of bing cherry, red currant, wild strawberry, tilled soil, anise and sagebrush. Luscious red fruits dance alongside candied orange peel on the medium bodied, seamless palate. Satiny, superfine tannins carry a savory olive note, leading to a plum and apricot fruit finish.
