Juxtaposed Sangiovese 2016
McLaren Vale, South Australia, AustraliaDusky plum hue with a slight cloudiness, this strongly swing to balsamic before potent wild currants, wild blackberry, thorns and riffing white pepper take over and ride along a medicinal dark plum base. Tannins are sticky, and the finish is dusty and long. The 2016 vintage's vin de soif, this was picked early, utilized 35 percent whole bunch, native fermented and basket pressed as soon as it reaches dryness to prevent time on skins. Thirteen percent alcohol, and designed to be smashable (chill first). The label is a photo of winemaker Wes Pearson filling a barrel of wine via gravity and hose.Tasted: 27 August 2018Tasted by: Treve RingPrices:| Australia | $29.00 | 750ml | Australia |
