Tasting Notes
For 2024 we offer blends from 2020, 2021 and 2022:
2022 - Il Mosaico - 43% Sangiovese (Estate), 29% Merlot, 25% Petit Verdot, 3% Syrah (Paso Robles, CA)
A walk through old-world vineyards reveals an inviting bouquet of ripe red cherries and plums from the Sangiovese, intertwining with the darker, more robust notes of blackberries and cocoa from the Merlot. The Petit Verdot adds hints of violet and a touch of graphite, while the Syrah introduces a subtle peppery spice and dark chocolate notes. The mid-palate brings lingering bright red fruit from the Sangiovese, complemented by a plush, rounded mouthfeel. The finish is long, with lingering notes of dark fruit and subtle earthiness, along with a touch of spice, like an E.M. Forster novel.
2021 50% Sangiovese (Estate), 50% Syrah (Ojai, CA)
A trip back to Tuscany with so much more to see; old and new world styles continue the dance. A blend of dark fruit and flower flavors, dark cherry jam, blackberries, rosemary, lavender, violets, and subtle black pepper. Beautiful mid-pallet, silky tannins with lingering spice notes. La Dolce Vita, Part II!
2021 50% Sangiovese (Estate) , 27.5% Cabernet Sauv. 12.5% Syrah, 10% Petit Verdot (Paso Robles, CA)
A tribute to the craftsmanship of old-world style blends from Montepulciano, offering a rich and complex profile. It presents an array of fragrant black fruit aromas, such as dark cherry, blueberry and blackberry jam, complemented by lavender and violets. The mid-palette goes on and on with subtle hints of tobacco, slate and black pepper. It is full-bodied with velvety tannins and a lingering finish. Like having dinner overlooking Montepulciano...with Sophia Loren!
2020 50% Sangiovese (Estate) 50% Syrah (Los Olivos, CA)
The old world of Montalcino meets the new world of California! This wine is packed with dark fruit and flower flavors, including cherries, dried cranberry, rosemary, lavender, blackberry, violets, and black pepper. Fruit forward with elegant mid-pallet, silky tannins with lingering spice notes. A finish worthy of a Fellini film!
