Gemina is a unique white wine blend, combining grapes that you would not normally see presented together. Greco, the descendant of the ancient Roman grape Aminea Gemina, is traditionally grown in Italys southern region while Pinot Grigio is traditionally grown in the north of Italy. These two varieties rarely meet in a blend in the old country. Here in California, our Greco is grown in Sonoma County and our Pinot Grigio in Napa Valley, making the meeting of these two varietals even more unique. A true combination of opposing forces, this California blend balances our winery’s familial history in the south of Italy with our winemaking influences of Italy’s northern regions.
97+ POINTS, WINE ADVOCATE:
Produced from 92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Cabernet Franc and 4% Petit Verdot, the 2015 Cabernet Sauvignon offers up profound wild blueberries, freshly crushed blackberries and chocolate-covered cherries scents with suggestions of Chinese five spice, Sichuan pepper, bay leaves and lavender plus a savory touch of yeast extract. Medium to full-bodied, it fills the mouth with expressive, multilayered blue and black fruits, all supported by ripe, fine-grained tannins and a lively backbone, finishing long with a compelling earthiness coming through.
