2018 Baba Sangiovese

Baba v.2018 is sourced from Boushey Vineyard in Grandview (Sangiovese Grosso) and Gamache Vineyard in Pasco (Malbec). Its aromas and flavors are powerful, spicy, deep and rich, like its namesake. Notes of sandalwood, brambly herbs, tobacco, tart cherries, citrus and strawberry erupt from the glass. Baba is what Ruby and Stella called Kelly’s Mom (Sarah) when she became their Grandmother. It remains one of our most limited and special wines.

Food pairing: Sarah’s eggplant parmesan or Sarah’s eggplant parmesan

Movie pairing: Gone with the Wind

FOUNDERS’ NOTES:
Our first extry Tuscan was produced in 2015 as a wine club exclusive. The Brunello clone of Sangiovese was sourced from Boushey Vineyard in the Yakima Valley. Once the fermentation was dry we loaded the press, turned La Traviata up to eleven, busted up some lasagne and Brunello di Montalcino and let Elvis the Press do the rest. Lovely red fruit and flowers flowers flowers.
