Background: |
Clarissa is named after Clarissas Vineyard,
one of the twenty vineyards that made up the original
Tizzana Estate. Dr. Thomas Fiaschi grew Hermitage
(Shiraz) and Petit Verdot grapes in this vineyard
which he named after his first daughter born in 1885.
The 2005 Clarissa is a dry red blend made from hand-picked
Cabernet Sauvignon (50%), Shiraz (30%) and Petit Verdot
(20%) grapes.

Tasting Notes: |
The aroma of the wine shows plum and
blackcurrant notes. A medium bodied wine with an excellent
integration of both grape and oak tannins. Will benefit
with at least three to five years of cellaring. |
