Rare offering! We landed a surprise allocation of this special lot, Sangiovese planted in 1994. Crazy dark ruby color literally burst out of this fruit minutes after destemming, giving me a vision of the depth of quality in this fruit. In aging and now in bottle, it has not disappointed: a bounty of intense flavors unusual for this varietal. You can get this fruit any year...blended in a monastically large lot that appears on the shelves of many NW groceries. That winery's semi had already left the vineyard when Mike and Jon Sauer realized there was another row left to pick. I came by to drop bins and they offered me this tiny remnant, just enough for one barrel, and now your table.
