Pure Cru 2009 Sangio Vetta Sangiovese (Napa Valley)

Country: US / Sangio Vetta
Variety: Sangiovese California
Winery: Pure Cru / Napa Valley

Tastes considerably fruitier and more full bodied than your typical Sangiovese, no doubt because winemaker Mitch Cosentino added Cabernets Sauvignon and Franc to the blend. The wine retains Sangiovese’s acidity and sour cherry flavors, but the Bordeaux varieties bring layers of blackberries, cassis and chocolate to this dry, elegant wine.
