Cent’Anni 2010 BuoniAnni Sangiovese (Santa Ynez Valley)

Country: US / California
Variety: Sangiovese
Winery: Cent’Anni / BuoniAnni

With just 1% each of Cabernet and Merlot, this wine is darker in color, and offers pretty while dense aromas of concentrated violet, hot brick and boysenberry juice. It’s dense and grippy on the palate, but quite lively with flavors of dried blackberry, pepper spice, black slate minerality and, on the finish, semisweet chocolate.
