The Temecula Valley, an hour north of San Diego, is ideally suited for Mediterranean grape varieties and Falkner makes the most of it with its Sangiovese-dominant super-Tuscan style Amante blend. This wine offers beautiful complexity with a mix of red and black fruits, exceptional balance, beautiful structure and a judicious touch of oak spice. A Platinum Award winner at the 2019 Critics Challenge International Wine & Spirits Competition.
