Tasting - Castello Sonnino Red Blend



Name:  Castello Sonnino
Variety:  Red Blend - Sangiovese, Canaiolo, Trebbiano, and Malvasia del Chianti
Region:  Chianti
Country:  Italy
Year:  2010
Price:  $15
Winery review:   This blended wine is rich with a dark color. It has aromas of graham cracker and lemon rinds with a palate of plum and raspberry. This wine is creamy in texture and has a full finish.
Additional winemaker notes:  The Vintage Cellar described this wine as "Tuscany in a bottle."  It had a very chemical nose - reminded me of Windex or rubbing alcohol.  Not very pleasant tasting.  I did not try this with food.
