Five Star Cellars
Quinque Astrum SuperTuscan Blend
Walla Walla Valley, Oregon/Washington, USA
Awful picture but really nice blend out of Washington. Had a glass right when opened but decanted another bottle for about and 1.5hrs and made quite the difference. Bright nose of fresh red fruit. Strong cherry, ripe strawberry, dried fig and vanilla notes. Medium acidity with a slight tannic finish helped elevate the crisp texture of the wine. Blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, and Merlot. Great for the money. Served with a bone in filet with seared foie gras

Feb 22nd, 2014Dark ruby red, medium- viscosity, some sediment and staining. Nose sees bright, ripe, red cherries, stewed strawberries, vanilla. Palette sees more tart red fruits, medium acid, medium+ alcohol, medium+ tannins, light mouthfeel, medium+ finish of medium complexity. I enjoyed this hefty, yet fruity WA super Tuscan!
