This Sangiovese comes from the famous Eaglepoint Ranch in Medocino, which is on the coast north of San Francisco. These wines represent a different view of the grape and are at once varietal and Californian at the same time. You will be struck by the richness, classic Thackrey spice and menthol, with very fine characters like mocha, cedar, fig, prune, allspice and earth. Medium to full bodied and carrying a warmth of alcohol just on 15%. Both vintages were considered good to excellent, and are aging beautifully. “this is as good as Sangiovese can get in California”, Robert Parker
