$7, 4 stars, 86 points, Italy, sangiovese, toscana igt, tuscany
Medium ruby colored, with slight staining, and a low viscosity (12.5% ABV). The nose has medium (-) intensity aromas of rhubarb, pomegranate, black cherry, green herbs, and licorice. The palate is dry, with medium acidity, a medium (-) body, and medium (-) tannins. Medium intensity flavors of black cherry, rhubarb, and pomegranate lead to a medium (-) finish. I was not expecting much from this $7 bottle from Trader Joes, but find it to be a very serviceable weekday quaffer that gets 86 points from me, earning it 4 stars. At 6 years of age, it’s time to drink up. Mostly Sangiovese, with a dash of Cab Sav and a sprinkle of Syrah. Salut….
