'05 Acorn Sangiovese

[Innkeeper]

2005 Acorn, Alegria Vineyards, Sangiovese, Russian River Valley (gift but $26 retail). Alcohol level: 13.5%. It has a splash each of Canaiolo and Mammolo (whatever they are) in with 98% Sangiovese.

It gives you ripe red fruit on the nose and upfront. Plums, cherries, brambly spice, crisp acidity, and mild oak course the palate, and it finishes delightfully.

Matched it with our own special lasagna and sliced pink Brandywine tomatoes.
