Raffaldini 2007 Riserva Sangiovese (Swan Creek)

Country: US / Riserva
Variety: Sangiovese North Carolina
Winery: Raffaldini / Swan Creek

Mostly Sangiovese with a small dose of Petit Verdot, this has attractive vanilla, dark cherry and spice aromatics, but a green, stalky note that lingers throughout. Supple tannins mingle pleasantly with tobacco and smoke on the palate.
