Solid Chianti, mostly Sangiovese with a little cab and Merlot. Cherry, spice, and orange peel, light-med body, longer finish than you would expect. I'd buy a bottle if your doing pizza or something bibbidy bobbity for dinner.

Extreme mineral bouquet with a slight sulphur aroma. Unripened plum, orange peel, pepper berry compote. Light bodied, dry finish but doesn't linger.

75% Sangiovese with the balance a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Bright garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of cherries, baking spices and purple flowers. Flavors of red cherries, baking spices, red plums, wet soil and tobacco. Medium length (slightly oaky) finish and medium-plus acidity and body. Chewy tannins. Young, but more than reasonable. Thanks for sharing, Matt A!
