2009 sangiovese

The 2009 Mahoney Vineyards Las Brisas Vineyard Sangiovese represents our first 100% varietal release of this Italian wine staple. In Italy, this grape makes up the predominant percentage in Carmignano, Chianti, Morellino di Scansano, and Vino Nobile di Montepulciano (not to be confused with the varietal Montepulciano). 

The 2009 Sangiovese is drop dead gorgeous. It delivers great fruit, subtle oak, and showcases the Las Brisas terroir brilliantly. Black pepper, clove, and cinnamon on the nose flow into flavors of dark cherry, deep plum, cranberry, with a hint of classic orange peel that rounds out this delightful wine. Salute.
