Martellotto "Rosso Di Sera" Red Blend 2017
Happy Canyon of Santa Barbara AVA was established in 2009. Full of rolling hills that sit atop a serpentine-laced terroir that is primarily planted to Bordeaux varietals. Greg Martellotto believes blends are better and this wine highlights the symphonic harmony of three Bordeaux varietals: 40% Malbec, 35% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 25% Cabernet Franc, all aged 10 months in 205 new oak.
Aromas of luxardo cherry, cedar, and fresh medicinal herbs entice. Flavors of ripe plum, blueberry, and oak dance on the tongue!
"Already bottled, the 2017 Rosso di Sera is a plump, rounded, sexy wine that has loads of ripe cherries, blackberries, toasted spices, and earth. With medium to full-bodied richness and ample fruit, it’s a delicious, fun wine to drink over the coming 4-5 years.” - Jeb Dunnuck (90 pts)
