Wine of the Week - Cougar 2009 Sangiovese

cougar08primitivo

This is a great, complex wine with many layers that continue to surprise as you drink it.

On the nose are general floral scents, roses in particular, along with traces of honey and mesquite.

On the tongue, deep flavors of tobacco and something bread-like which I'd call pretzel. A bed of red fruits underneath. A light mouthfeel, yet very rich flavors. Easy to drink, and damn good.

12.3% alcohol
