2023 INNERVISIONS IISonoma Valley Primitivo
The 2023 Innervisions II is a worthy sequel to one of our most cherished wines—the 2020 Innervisions. This wine invites you into a vivid world of purple hues and complex aromas.
The nose bursts with violet, blackberry compote, cherry pipe tobacco, and a hint of blood orange rind. On the palate, bright raspberry and gravel are lifted by mouthwatering acidity, balanced by the comforting embrace of fine tannins. The finish—a vibrant magenta groove—soars through your senses.
Sourced from an own-rooted block of Primitivo planted in the early 1990s, this vineyard is dry-farmed and lovingly cared for by the same stewards who supply Chez Panisse's legendary produce.
This is the perfect wine for elevating casual gatherings, whether it’s homemade pizza, takeout lamb curry, or pasta puttanesca. It’s so irresistible that magnums might have been a better choice—one bottle may not last until dinner.
