We will check in on its progress directly from barrel. • 2012 Sangiovese – We expect this to be fermenting away and we will taste if fresh from the fermentation tank. A unique tasting experience. We will also taste fresh, just crushed Sangiovese grape juice. • 2010 Rose’ of Sangiovese - Silver Medal at 2011 Seattle Wine Awards, is sold out and we will taste from our library. • 2011 Rose’ of Sangiovese – Gold Medal winner at 2012 Seattle Wine Awards and there are a few cases left. • 2012 Rose’ of Sangiovese – This wine will be fermented and aging in tank and we will check in on its young flavors right from the tank.
