Smoke, intense roses and red cherry with a hint of cranberry lead this creamy textured wine with a slightly astringent finish. Tasted like Cali grenache. Still it is complex enough to lend pleasure.

Beautiful fruit marked by acidity on finish...classic sangiovese, more fruit forward that your equivalent from Tuscany though still more a food wine. Good focus/balance between fruit and acidity. Should last 3-4 years. Tasted 2 other sangioveses from Stolpman vineyards during a recent Solvang trip...Curran and D'Afonso. All had the fuller mouthfeel like the Stolpman which separates them from a Tuscan sangiovese

Outstanding Wine - a little heavy for a Sangiovese, but was enjoyed by all. Had with a very tasty Smoky Pulled Pork, and it paired very well.
