Sipping Fine Wine

A blend of 40% Sangioveto, 20% Syrah, 20% Cab Sauv & 20% Merlot, aged for 10 months in oak. Image on the label represents the Maremma Cowboy, symbol of strength and elegance. Ornello in name of lance wood used to move cattle. Aromas of ripe fruits and floral herbs. Palate shows cherry and raspberry flavors with a bit of pepper spice. Medium body, big biting tannins, medium finish ending with savory herb spice character. Tasting Sample.

Licorice, potting soil, sour cherry -- not my usual jam, but I like it, a nice example of the style. Not complex, but to be expected for the price point.
