6-pack Special ~ 2007 DEWN Imagine

With this cuvée, we bid adieu to our beloved freisa plantings, a rare and difficult variety from Piemonte that we planted in our Ca' del Solo Vineyard in the mid 1990s. We used the last of it in this dreamy blend that combines the rich cherry bomb character of freisa with the earthy leathery notes of sangiovese. The freisa was stomped by Randall's daughter Amélie and her Orchard School classmates. After fermentation, the freisia and sangiovese were blended and aged in tank and barrel for 12 months before bottling.

Intoxicatingly lush aromas of strawberry, pomegranate, rose petal, and rosemary lead you to expect a fruit-driven monster, but this is utterly not the case. The wine is actually quite savory, with lovely red berry and cherry fruit, moderate acidity. and dry cocoa powder-like tannins on the finish. Elegant, nuanced and positively earthy, the '07 Imagine is one of the finest club member exclusive reds we have ever produced. It cries out for dishes such as oven braised pork with salsa verde, lamb loin chops with saffron and cardamom, or a turkey mole with pumpkin seeds, cinnamon, and dark chocolate.

For the final cases of our 2007 Imagine, we are pleased to be able to offer attractive pricing on the purchase of a 6 or 12 bottle pack.
