title: Toccata 2011 Classico Red (Santa Barbara County)
description: There's a distinctive, quite appealing sense of salsa, cilantro and parsley on the nose of this Lucas & Lewellen-made blend of 45% Sangiovese, 20% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon, 10% Cabernet Franc, 10% Freisa and 5% Petit Verdot. Pasilla and Fresno chiles play into the palate as well, where red berry fruit is the backbone. Wine geeks will dig this, but casual sippers may be confused.
variety: Red Blend
designation: Classico
