RATINGS

92Jeb Dunnuck

...beautiful black cherry, graphite, new leather, and crushed rocks aromas and flavors. Full-bodied, with building, ripe tannins and good acidity...

91The Wine Advocate

...nose of baked sour cherry, blackberry and black cherry with garrigue, iron, charcuterie, soy, leather and blue fruit hints—a very ripe expression. Full-bodied, it's bold in the mouth with tons of savory accents coming through, supported by firm, chewy tannins and great freshness and finishing long.

91Vinous / IWC

...very pretty wine. Sangiovese notes are laced throughout, with an extra kick of mid-palate sweetness that gives texture. Floral and savory overtones add an attractive upper register...

REGION

United States, California, South Coast, Santa Barbara County, Santa Ynez Valley

Santa Ynez Valley AVA is home to more wineries than any other area in Santa Barbara County. The appellation was established in 1983 and it includes a total of 76,800 acres, of which 1,500 acres are vineyards. Chardonnay is the dominant grape in this appellation, followed by Cabernet Sauvignon, Riesling, Pinot Noir, and Merlot. The appellation runs east and west with temperatures and microclimates changing significantly from warmer in the east to cool by the time the district gets close to the Pacific Ocean. In recent years Rhone-style wines have been successfully made here, and vineyards now are also planted to Syrah, Viognier, Roussanne, Grenache, Mourvedre and Marsanne.

TYPE

Red Wine, Sangiovese

This red grape is largely grown in central Italy. As the sole component or in a blend, it gives us Chianti, Brunello di Montalcino, Vino Nobile di Montepulciano, Morellino and Super Tuscans, among other favorites wines. The name is derived from the Latin for “blood of Jove.”
