Wine Profile
Tasting Notes
The Edgingtons planted 1.5+ acres of Sangiovese near Rimrock in 2014 and they obviously love their little vineyard like a member of their family. We’re immensely grateful that they selected us as the lucky ones to work with their beautiful grapes. This was their first harvest and our first working with fruit from this part of the Verde Valley. The grapes were smaller and thicker-skinned than some other Sangioveses we’ve seen, giving the wine more tannin and more intense characters of earth and leather. We can’t wait to see how this wine and their vineyard develop over the next few years! Only one barrel produced.
