2008 Luna Napa Valley Sangiovese

One 750ml bottle

The backbone of Luna’s '08 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 and shallow, rocky soil. In these soils, the Sangiovese struggles to produce the highest quality grapes possible. The balance of the grapes were grown in the heart of the Napa Valley.  
 
The wine is a deep garnet color with perfumed aromas of raspberries, black cherries, lilacs, and rose petals. The Merlot supports a chewy currant core on the mid-palate, accented by chocolate and hints of sandalwood. An interesting mineral note appears on the back of the palate, and firm, silky tannins hold the wine together. The finish is a lush thirty-second trail of perfectly ripe, Bing cherries.
