2021 Giornata ‘Gemellaia’ Red Blend Paso Robles

VIN96 The 2021 Gemellaia is intense, bursting from the glass with a spicy bouquet that mixes plum sauce and black cherries with autumnal spices, dried orange and pine shavings. This is elegant in feel, with textures of pure silk taking on a nearly creamy feel. A polished wave of ripe red and blue fruits swirl across a core of vibrant acidity. The 2021 becomes remarkably pretty and perfumed through the finish, blending violets and roses over a pleasantly tart blackberry tinge, all framed by sweet tannin. The Gemellaia is a blend of 54% Merlot and 46% Sangiovese.
WA95 The 2021 Gemellaia is a blend of 46% Sangiovese and 54% Merlot. It has savory aromas of red and black cherries, saddle leather, dusty earth and mushroom with top notes of orange peel and Angostura bitters. The medium-bodied palate features concentrated, nuanced flavors framed by chalky tannins and focused acidity, and it has a long, detailed finish.
