Winery Notes:
A blend of Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano and Malvasia del Chianti. Rich and modern, with a dark, saturated color and aromas of graham cracker and lemon rind. A juicy palate packed with plum and raspberry is carried by a creamy texture that’s rather toasty in terms of flavor. The finish is round, full and chocolaty.

My review:

This wine was deep red in color, and also smelled like generic red wine. It had a fuller body than other wines I tasted at the Vintage Cellar this week, and also had sour/tart undertones. It had a tannic mouthfeel that made it clear that the wine was dry. This wine was tasted without food.
