Tasting Notes
This Italian-inspired blend opens with a well-integrated nose of fresh raspberries and cherries jubilee followed by notes of cedar and tarragon. The flavors follow with rich, red fruit complemented by a balanced body and lingering finish.
Vineyards
The American Super Tuscan blend features 40% Cabernet Sauvignon sourced from Napa Valley, namely Howell Mountain where the fruit is grown on steep hillsides and lends great structure to the wine. The 33% Sangiovese comes from Rutherford and Calistoga AVAs – valley floor fruit which offers rich complexity. The 27% Merlot added to the 2020 vintage offers a velvety richness to the palate.
Winemaking
The blend was barrel aged in French oak for 30 months
