Riva Di Ponente Cimarossa Estate Wine Riva di Ponente is a hand farmed, terraced, 1.4 acre vineyard with full western exposure. The icon of this vintage, "delphinium nudicaule" (red larkspur), is a wild flower that grows at the edges of the vineyard. |
| Tasting Notes The 2005 Cimarossa Cabernet Sauvignon has a deep ruby red color with a dark berry core. Perfumed scents of raspberry, black currant and cinnamon spice. Long and full flavors of blackberry and a mineral component on the palate with smooth and silky tannins. An elegant and powerful expression of Howell Mountain. |
