2017 SANGIOVESE, E.J. CHURCH

PETER’S VINEYARD, NAPA VALLEY

“With a gorgeous ruby red color, this wine sings with notes of dried tart cherries, sweet roses, cranberry, and a hint of cinnamon stick. The beautiful mountain fruit is finely balanced with refreshing acidity on the palate and a lingering cocoa nib finish.” – Justin Carr

GROWING SEASON

Abundant rainfall and a mild spring resulted in an extended flowering period and vigorous vines. Warming temperatures in August resulted in harvest beginning early for white varietals, but cool weather followed, allowing sugar levels to balance and extend the season allowing for a beautiful crop.
