Sonoma County legend Sam Sebastiani is having a blast with the La Chertosa label, and he’s got a real winner in this return to the roots bottling. Deep cherry, sage, moderate spice, full extraction, supple tannins with good grip throughout, a long finish with great integration — it’s all here in spades. I suspect that Sam is as proud of this wine as any that he has made during a storied career. Pick up a bottle and taste the history. A Platinum Award winner at the 2016 Monterey International Wine Competition.
