I was very pleasantly surprised at how well this was drinking. This Walla Walla version of a Super Tuscan (50% Sangiovese, 50% Cab) combines the lovely fruit found in the winery's baseline Sangio with the extra gravitas found in their straight cabs. Also retains enough acidity to pair well with tomato-based sauces.

On the light side but appropriate flavor profile for the varietal. Good weekday accompaniment to light Italian fare. However, there are many better values in a sub $20 Chianti.

Easy quaffer with pizza or pasta but overly simplistic. At this price point there are much better values in a Chianti or Rosso di Montalcino.
