DESCRIPTION
Planted in 1996 by Gary & Rosella Franscioni in the 'sweet-spot' of the Central Santa Lucia Highlands, Rosella's Vineyard sits atop a southeast facing alluvial bench. Arroyo Seco Sandy Loam soils provide excellent drainage, while moderate summer days produce wines with beautifully fresh blue and red fruit notes with supple tannins.

"
A wave of effusive fruit rolls from the glass, and aromas of cinnamon- and anise-spiced cherries and wild blueberry compote follow through to a velvety palate. Brandied cherries, warm figs, chocolate ganache and mocha fan out in the broad yet structured finish. Drink or hold."
