Nils Venge's 1998 Venge Family Reserve Sangiovese Penny Lane Vineyard (blended with 20% Charbono) possesses a dark ruby color in addition to aromas and flavors of new saddle leather, strawberry jam, rose petals, and toast. The wine has some light tannin, but is well-made, and best drunk over the next 2-3 years. Tel. (707) 944-1304; fax (707) 944-1325
