2006 Luna Napa Valley Sangiovese Reserve
One 750ml bottle
The fruit for the '06 Reserve Sangiovese comes from the Game Farm Vineyard in Oakville. The vineyard lies in dense, stony subsoil that mimics mountain growing conditions. It was selected for its Brunello clone vines and shallow, rocky soil. In these soils, the Sangiovese struggles to produce the highest quality grapes possible.
The aromas of black raspberries, red currants, and lavender scent the nose. On the palate, there is a juicy burst of cherry, accented by tealeaves and cocoa. The tannins are firm and velvety, seamlessly holding the wine together. The lush finish lingers with more sweet cherry, pomegranate, and dense, dark chocolate.
