2005 David Arthur Sangiovese - USA, California, Napa Valley, Rutherford (8/14/2009)
WIML88
Tasted August 14, 2009 at the winery.
Tasted from magnum. Dark garnet to purple color in the glass, clear hue throughout. Nose started off as a little bretty giving way to notes of white pepper, red berries and red currants. Flavors of red berries and red raspberries. Clipped finish. Light to medium acidity, medium tannins, light to medium body. Drink over the shorter term, maybe medium term if you’d like to push it. (88 pts.)
