Napa Valley Sangiovese

Having had my fair share of Sangiovese the first thought I had was”this isn’t a Sangiovese”! But it was an excellent wine nonetheless. This is definitely a wine to pair with food and if you can have it with Italian that’s the way to go! Paired very well with gnocchi bolognese and penne alla vodka with sausage. Not as flavorful once dinner was done but still decent.

Very young and needs more time but ok for the price.

Still very young but a good price point. Some fruit but dryer.

Still very young but a good value.

Lower price point and good choice. Very dry but good flavor. Would be interesting older.

Pleasantly surprised with this. Better than I remembered. Drink pretty smooth for 2018.

Better than I remembered. Would actually consider getting again. Might have just needed to sit for a bit or we drank something before the last that killed the taste of this. Good value.

Ok. Not bad. Not as good as the tempernillo. Would probably skip and get something else next time. Interested to see how it ages though.

Had with Angela’s caccio e Pepe

Smells like burnt wood and berry sauce. Flavor is clean and ripe. Balance is good. Bright fruits. Berry type. Lovely.
