2011 Promis

Tasting notes
Dark red stone fruits, sweet spices, flowers and new leather jump out of the glass in the 2011 Promis. Already quite open and approachable, the 2011 is built for the near term. Tobacco, dark raspberries and rose petals wrap around the soft, inviting finish.

Bright, evoking ripe cherry, blackberry, black currant and spice flavors, this red is supported by acidity and firm tannins. Comes together on the finish, leaving a chalky, minerally aftertaste. Merlot, Syrah and Sangiovese. 12,500 cases made.
Aromas of black berries, dark spices and tobacco take the lead in this blend of 55% Merlot, 35% Syrah and 10% Sangiovese. The dense palate delivers juicy but restrained black cherry accented with notes of black pepper, licorice and mocha alongside firm, dusty tannins. A warm note of alcohol on the close makes the wine seem even more structured than it is.
A fresh and fruity wine with hints of blackberries, flower and lemon grass. Full to medium body, integrated tannins and a fresh finish. Delicious Gaja red from Bolgheri. Drink or hold.
