About the Wine

 

Acorn Winery is a small sustainable winery in Russian River Valley, California, owned and operated by Betsey & Bill Nachbaur since 1994. Their goal is to produce traditional field-blends (where grapes are interplanted, harvested, and co-fermented together), creating approachable, food-friendly wines made in the old-world style. This Sangiovese offering is truly a marvelous reflection of this approach, smooth, tasty, and an easy wine to drink with or without food. But get it while you can because only 282 cases were produced!

Varietal: 98% Sangiovese/1% Canaiolo/1% Mammolo
Wine Type: Red Wine
Origin: Russian River Valley, California
Elaboration: Hand harvested grapes, aged 16 months in French, Hungarian, and American oak.
 

Tasting Notes

 

Aromatics of vanillin oak, tart cherry, and a mineral earthiness reflect the soil in which the grapes are grown. Nicely balanced and easy to enjoy, this wine showcases a pretty core of spice and fruit that lingers on the palate. Enjoy with beef ragu Bolognese, cinnamon and apple pork chops, or a classic margherita pizza.
