Alpha Box & Dice Rebel Rebel Montepulciano 2016
Langhorne Creek, South Australia, AustraliaStriking labels, memorable wine, and moreso if you recognize that this montepulciano is not (gasp) from Abruzzo, but from it's tiny expat homeland in Oz. This was sourced from Kimbolton Vineyards in Langhorne Creek, Fleurieu Peninsula, and is full of fresh cherries, tayberries, mulberries with an active undercurrent of worn leather and soft pepper. Tannins are soft and the mouthfeel is broody, much like the label. Peppery spices build on the finish. For current drinking, and I'd take it with grilled veg.Tasted: 20 July 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:BC | $32.99 | 750ml | private wine shops |
