Ruffino
Modus Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2022
Old standby. I guess i haven't written about the 2022. This wine is softer than previous bottlings. Typical Sangiovese flavors, though the tiny bit of Cabernet Franc is apparent. Cherry, sweet tobacco, a bit heavy on florals, lower tannins but a lingering finish.

Tenuta le Colonne
Plenum Costa Toscana Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2021
This is "Plenum" Costa Toscana by Tenuta Le Colonne, 2021.
I bought this to pair with my favorite pizza, and it really clashed. Too much dried mint taste. Came back to it after dinner and it very pleasant. We've got flavors of dark berries, cherry syrup, mint, tobacco, and a little bitter orange at the end. Plenty tannic. I'd try it again with a cheese board or maybe a pork dish.

I think (could be wrong) that this is a Bolghieri based winery, which might mean Cabernet (Sauvignon or Franc) or Merlot based wines, which could explain the clash. I never have Cab or PN with anything with a tomato sauce. But, as I said, I don’t know the composition of this wine.
Yes, you're right @Tom Casagrande I bought this thinking it was a Sangiovese blend. Dumdum!
But listening to the Stones? Pure magic, even if the wine and food just couldn’t get along!! Cheers!

The weather's a bit muggy but I grabbed a red anyway. This is light and uplifting! Ripe raspberries, a little spice, lightly floral. Big tannins, I feel like I'm drinking it 5 years early. Very enjoyable!
