Santa Barbara Winery, Sangiovese, Stolpman Vyd. 2004

Deep red.

Oak toast/maple, red cherry and earth aromas. Very attractive, deep and integrated.

Round, sweet and simultaneously acid-driven - another wine with nice tension in the mouth. Flavors lean toward confectionary red raspberry and a "mineral" feel from the strong acidity.

Serious New World Sangiovese, apparently not an oxymoron. 14.9% alcohol listed. Very good action.

Day 3 - No change - delicious stuff.
