2013 Cima Piccola |
We are proud to introduce our inaugural vintage of Helix Cima Piccola, the younger cousin to our Reininger classic, Cima. I say “young” because it does not experience the 5-6 year extended barrel maturation as does the Reininger Cima. Our Cima Piccola is a more youthful and energetic wine preferring running shoes to classic wingtips! You will not find worn out leather here. The wine possesses a bright ruby color with scents of cherry pie filling, eucalyptus, cinnamon and thyme. Elegant flavors of cherries, raspberries, marionberries and plum with an underlying current of graphite ride on a velvety texture of supple tannins and appropriate acidity for balance. Enjoy with grilled salmon on a bed of puttanesca. ~Chuck Reininger, Winemaker
