2017 Leonetti Cellar Sangiovese [JS93][WE93][WA91]

"A juicy, ripe red with cherry, chocolate and light cedar character. It’s medium-to full-bodied and creamy with a long finish. Drink now." 

"The aromas bring a dazzling sense of detail, with notes of raspberry, cranberry, sweet dried flower and moist earth. Action-packed, dense but not overweighted red-fruit flavors follow. The acidity is bright, and the tannins present but remarkably supple. It’s a pitch-perfect example of the variety, with a very long life in front of it."  

"Dark ruby in color, the 2017 Walla Walla Sangiovese has high-toned red fruit aromas with lush cherry skin, red plum, cherry blossom and touches of black raspberry with soft oak spices that lift the nose. Medium to full-bodied, the wine is ripe with robust dark red fruits that coat the palate with a subtle spice that lingers through the mid-palate, showcasing a balanced structure. There is a slight lift of elevated alcohol along with mouthwatering, energetic acidity and a tannic edge on the long, lingering finish that makes this wine food-friendly. This isn't your average Chianti Classico; instead, it's Sangiovese turned up to 11!"
