Notes of black cherry, violets, and dried lavender mingle with notes of Sangiovese’s signature earthy notes of clay in the wine’s intriguing bouquet. On the palate, the wine is bright with mouthwatering acidity and dusty yet supple tannins. The wine has lingering notes of dried red fruit and a persistent finish.
Earthy and savory dishes such as mushroom and sausage risotto, duck confit and chicken cacciatore would be sublime pairings with this wine.
Rattlesnake Hill overlooks the Home Ranch and the greater Alexander Valley. As the name suggests, this vineyard is on a rather rugged hill, giving this parcel great drainage. With only 8-16 inches of topsoil and clay soils with varying underlying layers of basalt, sandstone, and serpentine rock, vines have a difficult time surviving.
