Holiday Wine Pick
2008 DaVero Estate Sangiovese: The 2008 vintage was truly spectacular, producing three magnificent wines from their unique Hawk Mountain Vineyard. This steep, north-facing, heavy clay vineyard makes the vines work hard, naturally producing small crops of intensely-flavored fruit. The 2008 DaVero Estate Sangiovese is a revelation. The nose is redolent with spices, cherries, and berries, and on the palate it simply explodes with earthy fruit flavors that linger in the most delightful way. $45
