Tasting Notes
Medium plus bodied, with pronounced tannin and acidity, structure wise, this is a big boy. Its complexity is off the charts with red cherry, mint, tobacco, asphalt, mineral, and spice. Patience with this wine will be justly rewarded.

Why this wine made the cut…
Tone and backbone on steroids. Put it in the cellar, forget about it, and you'll be happy in a few years from now.
GRAPE VARIETAL(S)
Sangiovese
100% San-Joe-VAY-say
Sangiovese is grown throughout Central Italy, but is most famous for Brunello Di Montalcino and Chianti Classico in Tuscany. While historically the quality of Sangiovese wines was variable, the best wines are influenced by terroir and low yields. At its best, it makes some of some of Italy’s best wines. It performs particularly well on limestone soils at higher altitudes yielding elegant age-worthy Tone & Backbone wines with a complex combination of red fruit, earth, and minerals.
