Flavors

Grape: Cabernet Sauvignon & Sangiovese

Region: Montalcino

12.5% Alc By Vol

Cabernet Sauvignon & Sangiovese, Toscana, Indicazione Geografica Tipica. The following is from the back label - "2005 Vintage Red Wine - Col di Sasso, Italian for "Stony Hill", is a cuvee of Tuscan and International grape varieties that are cultivated on the most rocky and impervious slopes of southern Tuscany. Nuances of red berry, cherry and violet are complimented by a full body and soft, elegant tannins. Col di Sasso is a juvenile red to be enjoyed with grilled or roasted meats, poultry, or as an ideal accompaniment to pasta."

I hear Sangiovese and immediately I think of Italy. I read an description last year that was about Italian wines and it mentioned Brunello di Montalcino. Montalcino Italy is about 70 miles southwest of Florence. When I Googled "Brunello di Montelcino", I found a wine called Castello Banfi Brunello Di Montalcino which sells for about 0 a bottle. And then there is Soldera Brunello Di Montalcino 1998 that only sells for around 5 and the wines of Montalcino go down in price from there.

Imagine my surprise and satisfaction when I found this wine bottled by Banfi, and the winery was located in Montalcino, Italy?

The wine itself has a deep purple color. Retention it up to the sunlight, it is clear and shiny. You can see your hand pass the back side of the wine glass. Most Cabernets have an oak taste or at least an oak fragrance. Not so with this one. It is aged in stainless steel. Also, Sangiovese has been known to have a oak presence, like the wine found in Chianti. As I said about the Cabernet, there is no oak here. The wine is flat and dry. If you are seeing for a red wine that just a tinge of sweet, this is not the one. It is not at all sweet.

Note the description of the wine from the back label above. Red berry, cherry, or violet? I did not taste those fruits or flavors in this wine. You should try a bottle and see if your palate is best or sharper than mine. We are having this wine with pot roast tonight. I have had this wine with pasta and also had it with salmon. My spouse had to have a splash of red wine for the pot roast that was cooking and since we already had it been opened from a previous occasion, she spashed some of this into the pan. There was only about two glasses left and since I needed to write this review, we decided to have a glass for investigate purposes. It was only for investigate - honest. You can check out this wine at the Banfi web site.

This winery is very unassuming. Note the commentary from the back label "2005 Vintage Red Wine". Although it can be characterized as a young wine, it is more than just a red wine.

You will be pleased to know the price of this Italian from Montalcino is only .99. When I asked my best friend and tasting partner about this wine and how it compared to the 2005 Bordeaux we had recently, she said this one was much better. And it was half the price.

Try a bottle when you get a chance. The Cabernet Sauvignon & Sangiovese blend is very nice and you will be happy with your selection.

I hope you have new knowledge about Flavors. Where you possibly can put to utilization in your evryday life. And just remember, your reaction is passed about Flavors.
