Not a varietal I typically seek out, Sangiovese by Trio Vintners is a winner - two years in a row! The 2005 vintage was brilliant, and the 2006 is equally delicious. On the nose there is some lovely black plums, with a hint of soil, vanilla,and something green that reminds me of mint. My pal (short for palate) tells me that the flavor profile is similar to the bouquet. Lush notes of vanilla and tart cherries are in balance with the leather and cinnamon components. The acidity is ripping here, and means it's great alone, but would pair graciously with food as well.
