What makes this winery "Green":  Sunstone has set the standard for growers in the Santa Ynez Valley with one of the oldest organic certified vineyards on the Central Coast. Making the distinction between his organic vineyard and organic wine (“we use sulfites in our wine so it is not organically made”), Bion Rice, Sunstone owner and winemaker, adds that organic farming is actually less labor intensive and requires less time in the vineyard. “Everything is in equilibrium.”

Sip a bit of Italia with this silky blend of Italian favorites. Bing cherries on the nose marry with blackberries and dark chocolate, while soft tannins mark the finish with silkiness and roundness.

Pair with traditional Italian fare like red sauce pasta, pizza and lasagna. 

Final Blend: 40% Merlot, 30% Nebbiolo, 20% Barbera & 10% Dolcetto.

Only 950 cases produced.

Enjoy now or hold up to 3 years.
