The 2018 Sangiovese is a beautiful wine. As always, the Pride Sangiovese includes a good amount of blenders, so it is not a true Sangiovese, but rather a very attractive wine that offers a lovely contrast to the richer, bolder reds in the range. Freshly cut flowers, cedar, mint and sweet pipe tobacco lift the berry fruit flavors in this stylish red from Pride.
The 2018 Sangiovese is composed of 77% Sangiovese, 15% Cabernet Sauvignon and 8% Merlot. Medium garnet-purple in color, it leaps from the glass with bold expressions of kirsch, baked plums, black raspberries and fragrant earth plus suggestions of dried Provence herbs and tobacco. The medium-bodied palate is refreshing and vibrant, delivering mouth-coating red and black fruits with loads of herbal sparks, finishing earthy. 362 cases were made.
