IL Gioiello 2006 Morse Vineyards Montepulciano (Amador County)

Country: US / Morse Vineyards
Variety: Montepulciano California
Winery: IL Gioiello / Amador County

A big, dry, tannicly astringent wine. It’s somewhat awkward now and could develop softness in a year or two. Right now it’s like Zinfandel, with brambly tannins and flavors of dark wild berries, leather and black pepper.
