2004 Favero Estate Sangiovese, Sonoma Valley appellation
2003 Sangiovese was so popular it has disappeared from our racks. However, the good news is Favero 2004 Sangiovese has arrived and is everything a Favero wine promises! The process to make this 2004 Estate Sangiovese started at harvest with the selection of very ripe fruit. These flavors are still very pronounced in the bottle. In addition, aromas of rose petals, coffee, cedar and dark chocolate are combined with this big, luscious fruit, spice, and balanced French oak. Food pairings range from Charcuterie and mature cheese plates, gourmet pizzas, beef, seasoned pork, and zest sauces. This is not a light wine by any means; 3-5 years of aging is recommended.
Only 100 cases made so this unique wine is a tasty steal at only $28

2004 Trios 'Monte Rosso' Zinfandel, Sonoma Valley,
Tasting Notes:
Pure aromas of concentrated strawberry, cherry and blackplum are accented beautifully with delicate white pepper and other spices. Wonderfully silky and long in the mouth. Zinfandel doesn't get any better
than this!
This Old Vine Zin from the famed Luis Martini vineyard. The Monte Rosso Vineyard has 100+ year old vines and produces extremely low-yield Zin with tremendous concentration and incredible aroma. The 1000ft. altitude of the vineyard sits well above the fog line, allowing the grapes to ripen more fully than the cooler lower valley.
This is a very special offering and very limited, the kind of wine real wine lovers seek-out. Gallo bought this vineyard in 2002 and we were lucky to get some as we are friends with the winemaker at Gallo-Sonoma Marcello Monticelli. In fact his sons Massimo & Mario are Trios winemakers! The B Wise Estate borders the Monte Rosso Vineyard and has some of the namesake red soils on the property.
