Tasting Notes
This golden-hued tribute blend displays a brilliant ruby core with garnet edges, reflecting its six years of graceful evolution. The nose opens with vibrant aromas of ripe gooseberries and boysenberries, complemented by classic Sangiovese notes of dried herbs and Mediterranean spices. On the palate, luscious red cherry fruit takes center stage, supported by the Barbera's natural acidity and the Mourvedre's structured tannins, creating remarkable balance and smoothness. The finish is long and satisfying, with lingering notes of dark fruit and subtle earthiness that speak to the Santa Ynez Valley terroir.
