Winery Review: Deeply intense dark red colour with delicate purple hues. Aromas of cherry and black cherry, complemented by complex bouquet of sweet spices and vanilla jump from the glass. This is a full-bodied and elegant wine, enveloping and velvety on the palate with its smooth and structured tannins.
Wine Folly: pg. 162 Sangiovese - grape variety with mid tannins, high acidity, mid to high body, and very low to no residual sugars. Notes of cherry and black cherry on the nose. A slight sweetness immediately on the palate although it fades quickly, turning into a darker fruity flavor with higher tannins. Wine folly mentions other notes of roasted tomato and sweet balsamic although I did not notice them. We drank this wine right out of the bottle and did not decant the suggested 30 min.
My review: This may be the best red wine I've had so far this semester. I really enjoyed the aroma of the wine: fruity, floral, and complex. I also liked the flavors this wine displayed with the tannic cherry and subtle sweetness at the beginning. The high acidity was noticeable but well balanced by initial sweet punch. This wine was great and for the price. Will definitely be buying again and recommend.
I tasted it on its own without any food pairings.
