Color:Deep garnet with ruby hues

Nose:Prominent bright red fruit: pomegranate, Bing cherry, pitaya, raspberries. Notes of Madagascar vanilla bean, cigar box spice and clove. Plum/hoisin notes suggestive of umami. Chai tea and balsamic spice.

Palate:Vibrant, bright acidity carries the wine through the back palate and finish. Cuban ropa vieja, cumin and allspice. An evening in Havana — the smell of drying tobacco leaves flavoring the air, flavorful spices simmering braised beef all afternoon, salsa beats in the air.

93% Sangiovese, 7% Petit Verdot from the Central Coast — a vibrant, spice-driven expression of Sangiovese.
