Santa Christina
Toscana Red Blend
Tuscany, Italy
Drank 9\29\22
Looking for a cheap red. I've had this in the past so I thought I'd give the 2019 a try. Simple nose of red cherry. Ripe flavors of red fruit and a touch of earth. Perhaps it is the vintage but there seems to be a move toward a riper, international style, which is not my cup of tea. This drinks hot despite the 13% alcohol and short finish.
3/21/6/2/2 +50 = 84 pts.
Would prefer a simple red from any Tuscan Osteria.

Simple basic red that was on sale at Costco. Easy to drink but not much to it.

A little too much on the Brett for me, and I usually enjoy that

This is the first bottle for me and won’t be the last. It’s a great standalone wine. Not heavy tannins which I don’t like. Had a nice rich berry taste to it but it wasn’t sweet by any means. Half the bottle I used making French onion soup and the other half I drank! I definitely will be buying additional bottles for my wine cellar.

Sweeter than I was expecting. Hints of wood and tobacco hidden behind the bright and fruity front.
