Community Tasting History

Community Tasting Notes (average 85 pts. and median of 85 pts. in 2 notes) - hiding notes with no text

 Tasted by Loren Sonkin on 10/3/2016 & rated 85 points: Ruby with some purple in color. The nose has cherries, saw dust and a bit of leather. Grainy texture. Not a lot of fruit here. Some cherries turning bitter on the finish. OK acidity. Worked a bit better with food, but everyone quickly moved on to other wines. (1668 views)
 Tasted by isaacjamesbaker on 2/14/2016 & rated 85 points: Italian Samples - Value-Priced Wines: Deep ruby color. Less candied on the nose than the regular 2014, this shows deeper plum and black cherry aromas along with earth, violets and coffee. Nicely structured with medium-grain tannins, medium acid, a velvety mouthfeel. Flavors of black cherries and plums, the fruit is juicy and mixed with oak, vanilla, roasted chestnut and loam notes.

Sangiovese Blend

Sangiovese blend is used in CellarTracker for Italian wines to represent wines predominantly made of Sangiovese and blended with traditional Italian grapes. It is different than SuperTuscan which is a blend of Sangiovese with non-traditional (eg Bordeaux) varieties, often in closer to equal portions. For example, Chianti is at least 80% Sangiovese and will always be listed Sangiovese blend.
