What's Sinalunga? This is La Castellana! The dark wine - very dark - has aromas to match. The gorgeous nose wafts up from the glass with so much to offer, you might miss the beautiful black plum and blueberry notes. There’s also a hatful of spice and coffee and mocha and vanilla rising. Oh, and don't forget the tobacco and the little smear of tar that drags it all into savory land. On the palate, big, bold fruit blasts forward in a hail of tannins. Be sure to let it air out a good while and have some big, bold, red meat standing by to give those angry tannins something to work on. The blackberry flavors are most pronounced, but they wear a cedar-tinged cloak which is lined with a rack of spices. This is a steakhouse wine, to be sure. An Italian steakhouse. In the Napa Valley.

Oh this is really tasty and smooth. Dark fruit aroma of blackberries and cherry. Licorice notes as well. The wine is very smooth and velvety. Had this on our 30th anniversary with Point Reyes blue cheese filet mignon, balsamic Brussels sprouts, and key lime tart for desert. It all paired well together. Go ahead an splurge for a bottle in Sinalunga!!!
