| Community Tasting Notes (average 84 pts. and median of 84 pts. in 7 notes) - hiding notes with no text | | | Tasted by nsellen on 1/16/2018: No sign of maturity in colour. This is a simple, cherry tart, leafy wine with some spice and smoke. Finishes clean and short. Great with pizza although that’s not a very high bar. I think we enjoyed our time together but if I’d paid current prices for it, i’d be much more critical. (996 views) | | | Tasted by Personal Opinion on 1/8/2018: Definetly better and more open then I remember from a year ago. Ripe, dark red fruit and anise overtones. Classic profile. Simple, yet satisfying. Medium bodied. Fine, dusty, dry tannins. Balanced acid. Medium bodied. Medium finish. Good value. Paired PERFECT with Italian sausage and lentil soup. (1026 views) | | | Tasted by Ben Christiansen on 5/11/2017: Smells oxygized. Two weeks under coravin. (1236 views) | | | Tasted by Jeffyboy on 6/13/2016 & rated 85 points: cherry, clear colour, shiny; excellent. nose: bit closed; cherries with some tobacco and some metallic/cardboard notes. taste: light bodied, even "thin"; tart fruits - cherries, red currants; bit short on the finish (bitterish). Better than we rememberd previous vintages. (1070 views) | | | Tasted by tudval on 1/19/2015 & rated 80 points: At this time, this wine is closed and tannic. It will probably get better in a few years, shows some promise, but not worth taking up precious cellar space in my opinion.

| SangioveseSANGIOVESE: (Pronounced "sahn-joh-vhe-se").
Sangiovese - Italy's claim to fame, the pride of Tuscany. Traditionally made, the wines are full of cherry fruit, earth, and cedar. It produces Chianti (Classico), Rosso di Montalcino, Brunello di Montalcino, Rosso di Montepulciano, Montefalco Rosso, and many others. Sangiovese is also the backbone in many of the acclaimed, modern-styled "Super-Tuscans", where it is blended with Bordeaux varietals (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc) and typically aged in French oak barrels, resulting a wine primed for the international market in the style of a typical California cabernet: oaky, high-alcohol, and a ripe, jammy, fruit-forward profile.[16]
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.Italy Italian Wines (ItalianMade.com, The Italian Trade Commission) | Italian Wine Guide on the WineDoctorTuscany Tuscany (ItalianMade.com) | TuscanytMontalcino Montalcino websiteRosso di Montalcino Consorzio del Vino Brunello di Montalcino |
