2018 Carlson Creek Vineyard Sangiovese

We usually source Sangiovese from two or three different vineyards every year. It’s a special varietal for us and definitely one that shows quite a bit of variation from vineyard to vineyard. This small bottling comes from Carlson Creek Vineyard, which is south of Willcox – a stones-throw from Cimarron Vineyard where we also source small amounts of Sangio. The Carlson Sangio tends to be a little more feminine -- less tannic and a little lighter in color than the fruit from Cimarron. But the wine always has an intense and bright cherry character coupled with a much silkier palate. There is also a fascinating, faint green spice adding another layer to this very pretty wine. Only three barrels produced.
