Winery Review: A blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia del Chianti. Rich and modern, with a dark, saturated color and aromas of graham cracker and lemon rind. A juicy palate packed with plum and raspberry is carried by a creamy texture that’s rather toasty in terms of flavor. The finish is round, full and chocolaty. (The Vintage Cellar)
My Review: This week was not the best I might have to say. This wine had the same issues as the other wines I tasted this week. The nose wise actually quite good. There was a slightly sweet feel to it with some raspberry burred underneath. The taste was hot! The heat was coming through for this wine. I would feel like as I exhaling. The taste was also undistinguished. I honestly couldn't taste much but some alcohol and a little smokiness as the end.
