Ray Vanderhoff

Primarily Sangiovese with small amounts of Canaiolo Nero, Malvasia and Trebbiano blended in. Murky garnet color with a ruby core. Aromas of dried red fruits, violets and forest floor. Flavors of dried cherries and raspberries, baking spices and dried herbs. Notes of roasted nuts and earth on the medium finish. Acidity and tannins are a bit sharp which negatively affects the balance. Bone dry and medium bodied. Alcohol heat is noticeable. Thanks for the taste, Chris B!
