Tasting Notes: Aromas of blackberry, raspberry jam, cocoa, toasty vanilla, licorice, and nutmeg spice that lead to flavors of Bing cherry, blueberry, sweet plums, pomegranate, mocha, sweet oak notes and a hint of bu erscotch. SIENA has supple tannins and a balanced mouthfeel with lively elegance and depth.

Winemaker Notes: After a remarkably early and low yielding 2015 harvest, the 2016 vintage began closer to an average start date, with the vines producing good yields in the midst of a fourth year of drought in Sonoma County. The vineyards performed well with considerable amounts of rainfall dropping late winter and early spring, combined with mild and warmer early spring conditions. Although there were many mornings of heavy fog in late August, most of the summer and early fall were sunny, warm and dry. The 2016 growing season was ideal for quality wine grape farming and harvesting at optimal ripeness.

Varietal Composition: Proprietary blend of Sangiovese, Malbec, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petite Sirah
