Koehler 2013 Sangiovese (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Sangiovese California
Winery: Koehler / Santa Ynez Valley

Heady aromas of black cherry, red and purple flowers and a strong cinnamon, Red Hot candy-like spice show on the nose of this bottling from a winery recently reinvigorated thanks to winemaker Colin Murphy. Spicy red fruit flavors pop on the palate, which is framed by firm tannins and also shows rosewater, hibiscus and crushed gravel.
