Paso Robles Sangiovese

Estate grown. Rustic with dried cherry fruit.

At Family Winemakers of California Tasting in Del Mar. 3/5/2017.

Strawberry and lighter fruit are the most significant notes. Some licorice and clove on the mid palate. Mild tannins and a short lingering finish. Very delightful.

This is a 2016 Vintage. There is nice fruit up front blackberry,black cherry and a hint of freshly picked mint on the mid palate and a smooth lingering finish of new French oak.

This one starts off with some funky mushroom both on the nose and on the very front with a ton of acidity. This blew off after 10-15 minutes or so, and became a nice bouquet of chocolate covered red cherries and mocha after the mushroom blew off. The entry is more chocolate and a darker berry. Fig and still a hint of mushroom on the middle. Definitely a ripe wine. The finish was acidic, more tame after an hour, dark chocolate and a hint of stiff oak tannin. A very interesting wine!

Great full-bodied wine with dark cherry notes. I can definitely pick up the oak from the aging barrels.

Delicious flavor very unique, found it at Costco

Light bodied with a full aroma and pleasant fruit forward appeal

Slightly bitter, peppery, dry.

Light and fruity (the way Sangiovese should be) but also featuring a nice line of minerality and earth. Opolo lives off of their Zin, and you can taste a bit of that in this wine.
