Smells like a Reuben on Rye or Bologna or summer sausage. With a strong smell of old pepper. Not unpleasant though. There is also strawberry soda and dusty oak, and a hot, coated grill with toasted cocoanut. The palate is configured in a completely different way, with the steel of the grill replaced with a sweated copper and peppery plum, sugary cran and cast iron, with a black raisin back note. Really an interesting grape! I would love to see this thing done in different styles for comparison, but this is definitely a top offering. Long after the sip, the wine gives you a stripe of bold fruit tannin just across the front teeth that lingers like a grape-induced gap.

Susumaniello! The bastard child of Sangiovese and Zinfandel as I like to say. Pleasant wine that’s fun to drink. Don’t look for much else but zero complaints here.
