{screwcap, 14%} Bright cherries, not too vigorous. Palate is authentically sangiovese, with bright red, slightly sour fruit. and a lightly tannic grape-skin grip. A fair dose of alcohol means it sticks around on the palate for a while too, although I think a % less would have been better. Clean and quite refreshing, it's not too fruity either. Sound quaffer.

{screwcap, 14%, A$14} Bright crimson red. Lifted floral/violet/sour cherry nose. Tart and dusty palate; savoury cherry fruit carried by slightly gritty grape tannin (little oak influence) makes a drying, new-world version of old-style Chianti. Light-medium-bodied, with a fairly short finish. An OK wine.
