Shop/wine critic/winery review:
The
aromas are rich and dark, with lots of black cherry and a hint of balsamic. In
the mouth the wine is round and energetic, with cherry and black raspberry
fruit complemented by hints of damp earth. If you like Sangiovese-based wines like
Chianti or our best-selling Colsanto from Umbria, you'll love this! The wine is
ripe, fresh, and fruit-driven with a wonderful dash of earthy complexity at the
end. Buy it by the case and drink with pizza, grilled poultry, and pasta.
Your Review:
This had a weaker nose and weaker flavor. Definite notes of cherry, and something more acidic. It had a thinner weaker density, and some earthiness was noted. Didn't try this with food, but it probably would be good with some. Not a bad wine, by any means, just nowhere near the flavor of the Pinotage. Which I feel is a good thing.
