La Chertosa Wines

Sam's Favorite Wine!

In the nose there is a lot of bright red fruit up front, notes of sour cherry, raspberries, dried floral and cherry tomatoes.  On the palate I also get more of the sour cherry, thyme cola nut and cedar.  Bright acidity with light tannins round out this wine.

Our first Platinum Medal Winner!  Also honored with 5 additional Gold Medals + 2 Best of Class/Category Awards!

"Sonoma County legend Sam Sebastiani is having a blast with the La Chertosa label, and he's got a real winner in this return to the roots bottling. Deep cherry, sage, moderate spice, full extraction, supple tannins with good grip throughout, a long finish with great integration - it's all here in spades. I suspect that Sam is as proud of this wine as any that he has made during a storied career. Pick up a bottle and taste the history."

"Bright and smooth with bright blackberry, cherry and spice; subtle oak and hints of vanilla; juicy, fresh and balanced; long and lifted."
Anthony Dias Blue, Tasting Panel Magazine

A wine of silk and satin with ruby depth and red cherry flavor tones, this is truly an exceptional wine.
