Wine Details

$36.00 per bottle
Description:
The three-acre Eleven Oaks vineyard has been fine-tuned into a site where the union of grape, soil, climate and farming is in perfect alignment for the quarrelsome, yet noble Sangiovese varietal. The resulting first vintage is an extraordinary wine, proudly bearing the name “Undici” (oon dee chee), or Eleven – an indication that the marriage of place and vine has harmoniously occurred.
A deep ruby red color with darker crimson highlights and a radiant brilliance first attests that this is a Palmina vinification of this classic grape. There is a mentholated sense of the outdoors on the nose, with aromas of eucalyptus and rose petals beckoning the senses. There is a bottom base note of bakers cocoa complete with complementary dusty textural components, followed by a mid-palate experience of pomegranate, dried cranberry, robust dark fruit and a hint of passionfruit. The bittersweet cocoa notes continue, along with subtle reminders of kirsch and Moroccan spices. The wine is full bodied and beautifully balanced – there is a true bitter/sweetness to the wine, soft tannins, lively acid and a lingering and changing finish.
