Villa Antinori Rosso 2004

Peanutman to the rescue! We’ve had a bit of a dry spell for reviews recently. We were away on vacation and I was away for a week on business. And the weather is getting warm enough that we’re just between red and white wine season – it’s that weird time we call “beer season.” Thankfully Peanutman is still drinking wine. Here is his review of the Villa Antinori Rosso

— Peanutman’s Review —

This wine has a nice red fruit bouquet and I think one could spend a lot of time simply smelling the wine. The taste was somewhat like ripened cherries with raspberry. I thought there was a little bit of pepper at the end but I could be wrong. In my books this was a very good italian wine for the price. The mix is Sangiovese (60%), Cab Sauv (20%), Merlot (15%) and Syrah (5%). I would say that it was medium bodied, some nice light tannins with a medium finish. Conclusion; a very enjoyable wine.
