$24, 4 stars, 89 points, cabernet sauvignon, Italy, sangiovese, super tuscan, tuscany
Medium ruby with some staining and high viscosity (13.5% ABV). The nose of this Sangiovese/Cabernet Sauvignon blend has aromas of leather, cherry, rose, vanilla extract, iron, plum and red licorice. The palate is dry with high acidity and medium (+) tannins that are a touch gritty. The body is medium with flavors of rose, leather, red fruit, oak nuance and a graphite/iron streak. The finish is medium in length and the tannins are more appealing on the back end, they caress rather than attack. I like this $25 wine that will get better with a touch of cellaring. Drink with pasta dishes from 2024-2030. 89 points makes it a 4 star effort. Salut….
