Muscardini 2012 Pauli Ranch Sangiovese (Redwood Valley)

Country: US / Pauli Ranch
Variety: Sangiovese California
Winery: Muscardini / Redwood Valley

A healthy portion of new oak blends beautifully with the variety’s inherent tannins in this full-bodied wine. The two influences meld with each other rather than pile on. It has that sweet-seeming oak perfume, like cedar, vanilla and cinnamon, followed by vivid red cherry and raspberry flavors with new leather accents that linger through the finish.
