Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
Every year we’ve been able to secure just a little more fruit from Cimarron Vineyard than the year prior. This is our first time working with Todd & Kelly Bostock’s Sangiovese, and we couldn’t be more impressed! This fruit is picture perfect on the vine, holds great acidity and color, and also shows a little more tannic structure than we’ve seen in a few other AZ Sangioveses. A classic, food-friendly wine.
