Winery Review:
(For
the 2014 review. The 2015 has yet to be reviewed) 87 Points – Robert parker
A heck of a value in Chianti, this delicious blend of 90%
Sangiovese, 7% Canaiolo and 3% Colorino offers up notes of licorice, new saddle
leather, black cherry and berry fruit, loamy soil undertones and a touch of
pepper and herbs. It is medium-bodied, savory and best drunk over the next
several years."
My Review: This
wine smelled heavily of vanilla and toffee.
The wine was very soft on the palette with a spicy finish. The taste had components of black cherries,
dirt and was heavy with tannins. This
wine needs to be paired with a fatty meal to soften the tannins.
