The basic Sangiovese cuvee typically includes about 5% Merlot in the blend. The fruity 2000 Sangiovese Riserva reveals the vintage's sweetness, but not much depth or intensity. The wine, which spends two years in old barrels, displays good structure, excellent purity, and plenty of Sangiovese character, something that few California Sangioveses reveal. Tel. (707) 255-5862
