This wine intrigued me at the tasting room and thus I felt compelled to grab a bottle for about eighteen bones.Funky garbage and carob on the nose.
Very Italian like on the palate – very much like a Chianti. Less intriguing than I remember, though by no means bad – in fact, this is pretty damn good if you're into Tuscan style wines. Tart, slightly sweet strawberry, loads of acid, and some earthy, chocolatey notes.
Chocolate, cigar box, tobacco, and cherry on the finish.
I remember this being far more unique in the tasting room – perhaps it was a different batch or the bottle had been open a while. For eighteen dollars, this definitely isn't a strong value, but it's still a perfectly good wine that I'd give the go ahead to someone who enjoys Tuscan style wines but wants something a bit different.
Wine: 7
Value: Pass
