2005 La Storia Cuvee 32, Alexander Valley Estate
$32.00
TASTING NOTES
Cuvee 32 is one of the favorite wines for the visitors in our tasting room and La Storia Wine Club members. The wine is a perfect marriage of the lean, food friendly acidity of the Sangiovese and the firm and juicy structure of the Merlot and Cabernet, resulting into a rich, yet nicely balanced wine that exhibits layers of lush, sweet black fruit flavors and hints of plum and spice. The well-integrated tannins will allow for early enjoyment, but will beg for 10+ years in a quiet cellar.
