The 2012 Digià (60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 35% Syrah and 5% Cabernet Franc) represents a new blend with a greater emphasis on the Cabernet Sauvignon. The wine opens to luscious, dark concentration and thick layers of dark fruit. The ample Syrah component adds distinctive softness to the tannins.

The 2011 Digia is a fruity blend of 70% Cabernet Sauvignon and 30% Cabernet Franc. There’s a touch of jammy fruit here, with blackberry preserves and earthy tones of leather and dried tobacco leaf. The wine’s consistency is compact and lean but the finish is marked by a lively endnote of dark fruit and spice. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2018. Husband-and-wife team Franco Batzella and Khanh Nguyen (born in Vietnam) have embraced a raisonnee agricultural philosophy based on the principles of organic farming since founding their estate in 2000. More recently, they have started to convert vineyard parcels according to an even stricter organic approach. The couple worked at the Work Bank before embarking on their winemaking adventure and studied winemaking at universities in Davis, California and Bordeaux, France. Franco and Nguyen are presenting a new wine, the Viognier Vox Loci for the first time and have also changed the name of their Syrah from “Bliss” to Vox Loci. The Latin term means “the voice of a place.” Importers: Total Wine & More; www.totalwine.com; Simon’n Cellars; www.simonncellars.com
