Smooth & smokey. Tanins and floral on the nose and a bit on the palate. The dry finish with a touch of vanilla rounds out this red wine nicely. While marked "Red Wine" with no mention of the grapes used, cabernet jumps out while it took a bit of internet research to turn up the sangiovese and syrah as the final components to this red blend. Of the others partaking in the wine, many positive comments and ratings in the 8-9/10 range. One suggestion is that the Skyhawk would be best with a strong cheese rather than with food.
This wine was purchased from Sam's Wine in Chicago back in the late winter and was on their
Top 100 Wines of 2008 list. Since movers don't move alcohol, it made the drive from Chicago to Charlotte in the Great Move of 2009. Just yesterday, this wine once again boarded the SUV for a road trip to the Wrightsville Beach, where we are enjoying it after a long day in the water avoiding the 94 degree heat. $15, 8.5/10 rating.
