| 75 | | | 90 | JaneGarvey | Atlanta | Georgia | USA | "Aristocratic wines at democratic prices," announces the winery's motto, and this example alone sets for a major piece of the evidence. What a value. Out of the bottle comes a wine of deep, but translucent, red color. The red fruit profile dominates the aromas--strawberry, red cherry, watermelon, red raspberry. The same flavors move to give character to the palate, with enjoys ample, fleshy fruit textures as well as intense fruit flavors. The grape is Sangiovese grown close to the California border. Of course, all was done in stainless steel to preserve that lovely fruit freshness. The crisp, snappy finish reflects that bright acidity that makes it a good food wine. Very fine value. I'd drink this in the middle of a blizzard, but it is the perfect wine for this crazy heat. Try it with grilled chicken, grilled ham steak, roasted duck, salamis and charcuterie, wings, fried chicken, muffalettas and other hearty meat-filled sandwiches with good bread. Be sure to serve cool, around 55ºF/17ºC.
