Community Tasting Notes (average 84 pts. and median of 84 pts. in 2 notes) | |
| Tasted by RPerro on 8/23/2009 & rated 80 points: Italy in the Valley (Cana's Feast Winery, Carlton, OR): A blend of 2006-2007 fruit from Yakima Valley in Washington. Super dark in color. Stewed, sweet prune aromas, almost like a port or madiera. Bittersweet in the mouth, and unlike any Sangiovese I've ever had. And not in a good way. Very bitter finish. (91 views) | |
| Tasted by shelfboy on 8/15/2009 & rated 88 points: Aroma is warm, sweet, and full of berries. It has a jammy flavor and lingers well. Just the right amount of complexity, but not pretentious. Great to drink now and very reasonably priced. Our favorite of the Hip Chicks so far! (96 views) |

About red wine SANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-veh-zeh"). Semi-classic grape grown in the Tuscany region of Italy. Used to produce the Chianti and other Tuscan red wines. Has many clonal versions, two of which seem to predominate. The Sangiovese Grosso clone Brunello variety is used for the dark red, traditionally powerful and slow-maturing "Brunello di Montalcino" wine. The other is the Sangiovese Piccolo, also known under the historical synonym name Sangioveto, used for standard Chianti Classico DOC wines. Old vine derived wine is often used in the better versions, needing several years ageing to reach peak. A third clone, Morellino, is used in a popular wine blend with the same name found in the southern part of the province. Recent efforts in California with clones of this variety are very promising, producing medium-bodied reds with rich cherry or plumlike flavors and aromas. Among the available clonal versions are R6 and R7, derived from the Montalcino region of Italy, having average productivity/ripening and producing small berries on medium size clusters. R10 and R24 are well-recommended. R23, listed as deriving from the Emilia-Romagna region, has good vigor with medium-small clusters with earlier ripening. R102 derives from the Montepulciano region and reported to have average vigor with moderate productivity that results in higher sugar levels and good acidity from medium-small berries on medium-small clusters. Has synonym name of Nielluccio where grown in Corsica. WineAmerica (National Association of American Wineries) | Free the Grapes! Washington Wine Commission | Washington State on CellarTracker |
