Great value at this price point. Not sure of the blend but I suspect both Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon are involved, maybe Merlot too. The wine is purple and opaque with much higher viscosity than the 13.5% alcohol would imply. The nose is red and blue fruit, and black licorice. It’s less earthy than most Sangiovese. Tart palate. Huge mouthfeel and very balanced acidity for this price point. The finish is tart red fruit. Drinking well and not a ton of structure so enjoy it now. Tastes like a softened Chianti designed for the North American market, which isn’t a critical comment - I appreciate when people make wine with me in mind. 5+12+17+8=92
