Characterized by its depth of blackberry and spice notes, this wine has a nice structural balance. Expect it to drink well now and for at least the next 10 years. and any rich red meat dish, or duck, will tame this nicely. $35/btl $32/btl/case. 5oz. glass of wine w/o glass $15
Aglianico / 2021 -
Big and bold, this will have quite a fan base. Our first Aglianico bottling from Rhumb Line Vineyards is a doozy. Broad and rich initially, then structured in a way that is unique to Aglianico. Raspberry, mint and black licorice aromatics. Huge volume in the mouth initially, then immediately focused by Aglianico’s typically strong acid/tannin synergy. This will age exceptionally well. San Francisco Chronicle Gold Medal Winner. $45/btl $42/btl/case. 5oz glass of wine w/o glass $20
