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.
