WineSaint
Ripe blackberry and cherry fruit flows with Mediterranean herbs and tobacco leaf. The Sangiovese base shows well, enhanced by international varieties that add depth without overwhelming. Polished tannins and balanced acidity make this accessible now, though another 3-4 years will add complexity. Sweet spice and mineral notes linger on the finish. Overdelivers at this level.
