Rick Small’s sustainably farmed vineyard has been growing this Italian variety since the 1990s, and the results from this remarkable vintage are stunning. He used 500-liter Italian barrels, as well as new French oak, to create aromas of blackberry, dark chocolate, walnut and forest floor. A bold entry leads to ripe and dark black fruit flavors, backed by easy tannins and good acidity. It’s a luscious drink crafted to serve with dishes from northern Italian such as braised beef, pork or veal with risotto. This wine earned a gold medal at the 2014 Walla Walla Valley Wine Competition.
