The winery is quite proud of this wine, and with good reason. Some coastal Sangioveses are light and jammy, but not this one. It’s a big, sturdy, rich wine, and the fruity-berry flavors are outstanding. Strikes a nice balance between fruit and herbal-tobacco notes. Upfront tannins suggest short-term aging. —S.H.

From a small family winery and vineyards in Hopland, a good example of this sun-ripened, full-bodied varietal. It’s a big, inky wine with aromas of blackberry jam and freshly crushed black peppercorns. The flavors are enormous and extracted and jammy, but it’s a dry wine, with 14.5 percent alcohol. It’s a fine, robust wine and a quintessential Mendo big red. —S.H.
