2012 Clos Pizzarra “El Ramon” Proprietary Red Wine Bellmunt Vineyard
San Francisco Wine Panel Score 92+ Points

Very ripe, rich yet structured nose of strawberry jam, cassis, black currant, sour red cherry, pomegranate syrup, white and black peppercorn, sumac berry, licorice root, hazelnut toffee, dark pipe tobacco and dried dark rose. On the palate, it is ultra palate-coating and shows sturdy tannins and dark minerality to create a gutsy overall feel. The finish is youthful and extremely long, and it finishes with a push of strawberry jam, red cherry, red currant, cassis, pomegranate, cedar, toffee and vanilla poised above a rich vein of dark earth. It is unfiltered and has thrown some sediment. 580 cases produced.
