2016 Trinite Estate 'Amaino' Red Blend Sonoma County

Winemaker Notes: Our desire to find balance and harmony in crafting a blend that represents the best of our Chalk Hill terroirs inspired us to create AMAINO. Sourced entirely from a hillside vineyard in the heart of Sonoma, this wine is full of character and charm, with perfectly ripe fruit and soft tannins.

CRITICAL ACCLAIM


James Suckling - "Amaino is more merlot driven, fruit forward, meant for immediate pleasure. Amaino is located in Chalk Hill Ava, Sonoma, on the western slopes of the famed Mayacamas Mountains. The name “Amaino” means volcanic soil in native American. A juicy red with plenty of cherry and currant character and hints of orange peel and tar. Medium body with red-fruit flavors. Hints of asphalt and earth, too. From organically grown grapes. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, cabernet franc and merlot. Drinking well now. The wine is concentrated with great ripeness and silky tannins making it ideal for barbecues."
