Tasting notes:
Spicy plum, cherry, and licorice on the nose
Fresh and lively on the palate
Nicely tapering finish of cherry and sage
I summarized this wine in my notes by stating "fresh, flavorful, nicely integrated spices" and "solid value". I paid just $8, althought you'll likely see it at $10.
Montepulciano D'Abruzzo is a real sleeper. Slightly off the established wine trail in Italy, this region churns out some incredible value in the bottle. Many offerings are $6-12 and some terrific limited production wines are in the $20 range. I stock up on these wines.
Raise a glass!
