FOOD WINE REVIEW

This wine was obtained through wine.woot.com along with two other (non reserve) Sangiovese’s. I enjoyed the standard offerings so much that i decided to save this wine for a more special occasion which ended up being a random “good feeling” Wednesday. Got home from depositing my stimulus check and popped this baby open. The nose was suburb. Text book dark cherry with a tail end of spice (I couldn’t put my finger on the specific spice component). Right off the bat this light/medium body Sangiovese hit me with dark chocolate tailing off with a nice cordial cherry component. I personally would have never guessed this wine dialed in at 14.5% alcohol but my wife’s first comment after sipping was “Is this wine hot?”. I’ll leave you to judge.

I highly recommend this wine. It may be a little tough to find but i believe Woot has offered this more than once so keep checking Woot’s latest offerings.
