Expert Review: A blend
of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia del Chianti. Rich and modern,
with a dark, saturated color and aromas of graham cracker and lemon rind. A
juicy palate packed with plum and raspberry is carried by a creamy texture
that’s rather toasty in terms of flavor. The finish is round, full and
chocolaty.
My Review: On the nose, this wine was orange with tomato
mixed in. The vegetable aroma was refreshing. During the tasting, the first
fruit that came to mind was boysenberry. In the aftertaste, the smokiness came
out which turned bitter. The mouthfeel of this wine was unusual because it was
drying but the wine stayed watery on the tongue.
Food: This wine was tasted with no food due to tasting it at
the Vintage Cellar.
