Pizzini 2009 Sangiovese Shiraz


Varieties: Sangiovese and Shiraz
Region/G.I.: North East Victoria, King Valley
Vintage: 2009
Closure: Screwcap
Colour: Cherry skin purple

Alcohol: 13.6%Bouquet: Briary (twigs) smokey and peppery aromas
Flavour: A flurry of smokey, sour cherry flavour, then a drop in the mid-palate before transitioning to a light, but long dry finish. Well balanced and overall, light bodied and interesting
Points: 84.5 (3+6.5+11+7+7+50)
Notes: An enjoyable, untypical style of wine. Very light so it lacks punch but very interesting in flavour. Bought four years ago for about $16.00~300 Kc
