The 1996 Luna Sangiovese from Napa Valley is a wonderful expression of this often-overlooked varietal, scoring an impressive 95 points. With its roots in the sun-drenched vineyards of Napa, this wine offers vibrant notes of ripe cherries, sun-dried tomatoes, and a hint of earthy spice that create a complex yet harmonious profile. The velvety tannins and refreshing acidity make it incredibly food-friendly, pairing beautifully with roasted lamb or a hearty pasta dish. This magnum-sized bottle not only elevates any gathering but also serves as a testament to the exceptional quality that Napa can deliver, making it a smart buy for those seeking both elegance and value.
