The Imperial Cabernet Sauvignon 6L wine by the Di Giorgio Family is an exceptional vintage. This Imperial Cabernet Sauvignon wine is showing both approachable fruit character now and the potential for cellaring through the presence of mature tannins and good acidity. The DiGiorgio Family Wines Lucindale vineyard produces distinctive minty and eucalypt characters in Cabernet Sauvignon and as the vineyard matures, excellent concentration and complexity.

This 2005 Imperial Cabernet Sauvignon 6L wine by the Di Giorgio Family is a very regional depiction of Cabernet with its lifted currant, cassis and cedar aromas leading to a medium to full bodied palate with lots of dark fruit and cedary oak, long, firm tannin length and terrific texture.

The Felsina Vin Santo Chianti Classico DOCG 2005 is made with Trebbiano, Malvasia and Sangiovese, the 2005 Vin Santo del Chianti Classico opens to a brilliant amber color and thick viscosity that hugs to the rim of the glass. Oak-driven tones of vanilla and caramel are immediately apparent, but quickly followed by candied fruit, butterscotch and orange peel. Clusters undergo a natural drying process on mats until February of the following year. The must is transferred to sealed oak casks containing the “mother,” or gelatinous remains from previous vintages. Fèlsina and consulting winemaker Franco Bernabei have made a fine showing with this new set of releases.
