Jeriko Estate Mendocino Sangiovese 2002

Sight: Red with slightly purple rim, medium depth.

Nose: Minerally nose, sweet, dusty blackberry. It would smell 'old world' if the blackberry was just a bit less sweet. Good nose.

Taste: Not terribly flavorful, but pleasant and smooth. Touches of berries. Low acidity and fine, ethereal tannin.

Overall: It smells Italian, which is cool, with just a little extra sweetness that betrays its true origin. A pleasant drink. It was a gift but I looked up the price, around $24. A little overpriced.
