2013 Sonoma County Sangiovese

Trader Joe's Reserve Sangiovese from the 2013 vintage hails from the picturesque Sonoma County, a region known for its diverse microclimates that enhance the complexity of its wines. This red wine presents a medium-bodied profile, exhibiting vibrant acidity that adds brightness and liveliness to each sip. The fruit intensity is prominent, showcasing tantalizing notes of ripe cherry and dark plum, complemented by subtle herbal undertones that enhance its overall character. Tannins are notable yet well-integrated, providing a firm structure that supports the wine's richness without overwhelming the palate. With a dry finish, this Sangiovese is a delightful pairing for hearty pasta dishes or grilled meats, embodying the essence of Sonoma's winemaking artistry.

Sonoma County

Many of California's world-class wines come from Sonoma County, separated from Napa by the Mayacamas Mountains. Three times the size of Napa, Sonoma is an incredibly diverse region. Cool coastal zones, fog-cloaked hillsides, sheltered valleys and craggy exposed peaks give Sonoma a vast array of terroirs and microclimates. Its many sub-regions produce a broad range of styles: from the bold Cabernets of Alexander Valley to the fragrant Pinots of Sonoma Coast and the sublime Chardonnays of Chalk Hill.
