Ramazzotti 'Raffinto' 2003 Sonoma County Red Wine

I found Ramazzotti's wines through Locals in Geyserville, CA.   This is a Super Tuscan, made predominately from Dry Creek Valley Sangiovese.   Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Syrah from the Alexander Valley are blended in, and the result is a luscious, rich, garnet-colored wine.   Sangiovese can be a bit rough (especially American Sangiovese), but this estate fruit is supple and ripe, showing bing cherry, black raspberry, cola, and soft vanilla oak.    $25; 92 points    An excellent value for a completely estate grown and bottled wine...
