Ca’ Rugate 2009 Amarone della Valpolicella

Country: Italy /
Variety: Red Blend Veneto
Winery: Ca’ Rugate / Amarone della Valpolicella

This offers aromas of raisin, mature black fruit and spice. The palate is very lush and ripe, with plum and black cherry flavors layered with oak, chocolate, vanilla and espresso accents. It might not have much personality or complexity, but the flavors are defined and alluring.
