Pride has always made one of the finest wines from Sangiovese, but they don’t make a whole lot of it and only bottle it in 500 ml formats. It is fermented in stainless steel but aged 12 months in 40% new French oak. There are 216 cases of the delicious 2014 Sangiovese, which exhibits the classic spicy cherries, new saddle leather, licorice, dusty, loamy soil notes and touch of tobacco leaf in a medium to fullbodied, dense purple-colored format. It doesn’t cut a huge swath across the palate, but its fruit is intense, pure and provocative. Drink it over the next 4-6 years. The $60.00 price is for 500 ml.

A lovely wine, this is soft and layered with complex notions of raisin cake, cranberry and dried cherry. Soft and supple in texture, it has a lasting grip of leather and coffee. Full bodied, it holds its ripeness well, showing complexity and balance.
