That's the title of wine critic Dan Berger's review of 2010 Villa Ragazzi Sangiovese and Faraona, published on Valentine's Day (grazie, Dan) in his highly regarded newsletter.  And this after he had made our 2009 Sangiovese one of his Top Wines of 2012. 

"Villa Ragazzi has released 58 cases of what may well be the finest Sangiovese ever made in California.  Alongside this is a stellar Sangiovese blend (75%) with some medium-weight Cabernet called Faraona, another 2010."

I should be out trick-or-treating, but my witch's hat has gone astray.  Besides, it's raining tonight in Napa Valley.  So I'll pour myself a glass of wine and tell you what's new with Villa Ragazzi instead. We actually do have some news to report.

Today marks the release of not one, but two new wines from the lovely 2010 vintage.  They are both, of course, heavy on the house favorite, Rodeno clone Sangiovese.  They are both, as you might expect, made in small volumes (58 and 70 cases respectively).

First, with all the 2009 Sangiovese sold (merci), we have the pleasure of releasing the 2010 -- at the same price.  Although its specs are identical to those of its predecessor  except for the vintage, this wine exhibits a refreshing charm I find quite appealing.  I believe I'm channeling Randall Grahm, and I'm still on my first glass of wine.  (Read his  Been Doon  So Long if you haven't already.)
 
Last (see what I mean?), we introduce the inaugural vintage of Faraona, our super-Tuscan blend of 75% Sangiovese and 25% Cabernet Sauvignon.   We were blessed with some unsold Cabernet grapes in 2010 and decided to make them into wine for Villa Ragazzi (stay tuned for a 100% Cabernet release next year).  Although leery of the propensity of Cabernet to overpower Sangiovese, we did some trials and surprised ourselves by agreeing that an addition of 25% Cabernet made a wine we would be very happy to drink, and share.  Grownups deserve treats, too.
