Sangiovese
Napa Valley
2007
Another winery exclusive wine (sorry, but we did travel up to Napa after all). This is a very dark and rich ruby red. It smells as rich as it tastes and has many bold flavors. Though we are both fans of this wine, we do not recommend it for people that like "light" red wines.
Colin: This is the best of Castillo's wine I've tasted by far. It is a very warming, full-bodied wine. his Sangiovese lacks nothing. I love the taste, and it finishes as well as it starts.
Rating: 9 out of 10 glasses
Rachel: When we tasted this in Napa, we both knew we wanted a bottle. It's a very bold, but nicely rich red, with a kick to the finish. For some reason, even though this is flavorful, like all Sangioveses are, this still has such a wonderful, smooth finish. Slightly tart, bold fruits, and a hearty flavor, this stands up great with rich pastas (and probably meat, though I wouldn't know).
Rating: 8 out of 10 glasses
Where can I find it?
Online only through Castillo's website.
Cost: $29.00 - and definitely worth the money.
