This Super-Tuscan style blend consists of 52% Sangiovese, 27% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 21% Syrah. One of the most remarkable vintages of Tesoro, the new 2017 adds to its varietal tradition by way of a small amount of Petite Sirah, lending more structure and wild savory flavors that include white cherry, hibiscus, dried rose petal, heirloom tomato, pineapple sage, cedar and sweet tobacco leaf.
The grapes in this wine are grown in deep alluvial soils. The fragrant approach brings you right into the vineyard and creates a sense of place. On the nose, this Cabernet holds notes of raspberry, boysenberry, overripe black plum, Herbes de Provence, horehound and caramel, while the palate lends flavors of mulberry, black currant, plum, cacao and baking spices. Elegantly balanced with a dash of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, this wine displays a strong tannin structure and finishes with a silky texture.
This proprietary red blend consists of 39% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Zinfandel, 16% Syrah, 12% Cabernet Franc and 3% Petite Verdot all from the BWise Estate.
