NOTES FROM VINOVOSS SOMMELIER
Dragonette Seven presents a deep, inviting color in the glass.On the nose, enticing aromas of ripe dark fruits such as blackberries and plums are complemented by hints of spice and earthiness. The palate is rich and full-bodied, featuring velvety tannins and well-integrated acidity. Flavors of black cherry, cassis, and dark chocolate unfold, accompanied by notes of pepper and roasted lamb with a touch of rosemary. The texture is taut and grippy, balanced by vibrant layers of red, blue, and purple fruits. The finish is long and satisfying, underscoring the winery's commitment to producing exceptional wines.

ORIGINS
Winery: Dragonette
Region: Central Coast California
The Central Coast of California is a wine lover's paradise, boasting a wide variety of climates, soils, and grape varieties. Located between San Francisco and Los Angeles, the Central Coast spans from Monterey County in the north to Santa Barbara County in the south. With its diverse topography and Mediterranean climate, the Central Coast is home to some of the most renowned wineries in the United States.
The Central Coast has a long and storied history of winemaking, dating back to the mid-1800s. The first vineyards were planted in the Santa Clara Valley, and by the late 1800s, the region was producing some of the finest wines in the country. The region's reputation for quality wines was further solidified in the early 1989, when the Santa Clara Valley was declared among the first American Viticultural Area (AVA) in the United States.CUSTOMER RATING
