"Our 2005 Estate Sangiovese tastes of cranberry and Morello cherry with undertones of anise and a supple finish. The depth and complexity of this wine has made it an annual best seller and the ultimate companion to great Italian cuisine. Typical of this varietal, as our Sangiovese vines have matured and we have been rewarded by increasingly rich fruit." - Winery Notes
"Pietra Santa is a family-run estate in the beautiful Cienega Valley just 25 miles from California’s Monterey Bay. The proximity to the coast provides cooling, maritime breezes and a long growing season resulting in vibrant and flavorful wines. The estate also benefits from granite and limestone soils and is named Pietra Santa or “Sacred Stone” in honor of the unique terroir. The estate’s winemaking history dates back to the 1850’s when vines were first planted on the estate. Today, the winery is owned by the Blackburn family. It is their goal to create the best possible wines and continue the the tradition of quality winemaking in this special place." - Winery Notes
