This beauty comes from a single block of a mountain site located north of the Fort Ross-Seaview AVA

There will be a 2016 and 2019

Castello del Terriccio, Tassinaia Size:6x750ml 30% Mourvedre and 10% SyrahThe 2015 Tassinaia is a blend of Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon, now with an element of Syrah. The wine is fermented partly in steel and partly in oak and brings a breeze of spice from the get go. This second level red from Castello del Terriccio offers plenty of rich, exuberant and succulent fruit. I imagine it will open nicely over the next few years. Tassinaia is a selection of fruit from different vineyard parcels.
