Pietra Santa 2004 Sangiovese (Cienega Valley)

Country: US /
Variety: Sangiovese California
Winery: Pietra Santa / Cienega Valley

Except for a taste of cooked grapes, this is a pretty good Sangiovese. It’s dry and crisp in acidity, with a nice earthiness behind the cherries. But you can taste the burnt berries that just got roasted under the hot sun of this vintage.
