Des Voigne Cellars San Remo 2006 Sangiovese

The Winery: Des Voigne Cellars
The Wine: San Remo 2006 Sangiovese
The Price: Not certain, but I *think* it was $26 at Jack Cellars

I was reading recently about Sangiovese grapes. The grapes tend to be high in tannins and acid, but usually result in wines that do not cellar well beyond about 10 years. The wines also tend to lack color.

I'm not familiar with Des Voigne cellars. I do like the jazz theme that they carry through on their wines. Their website is kind of raggedy and seems like they intend(ed) to finish it at some point.

The bottle is corked with a natural cork. In the glass, this wine has a somewhat dark red color. The wine has scents of prunes, vanilla and oak.

This is a very delicious wine. It has flavors of plum and cherry with hits of oak and vanilla. It has a pepper finish.
