 Big, Bold, Beautiful.

 Well, if you cannot tell by the title, this wine hit me the right away.  When I saw it in the store this afternoon I was certain that I would like it, however it has taken me a long time to understand what I like and dislike in wines.  Don't let anyone tell you what wine is good or bad, everyone has different tastes and likes. So here we go... 

Wine #7

Label: Umani Ronchi (haha its not)

 
Year: 2010

Style: Montepulciano (Abruzzo-location)

Origin: Italy

Cost: 12.99 (NSLC)

Body: Full

Mouth Feel: Dry, and bold.  Fills and covers your mouth with ripe fruit and berries (plum and current) while leaving a lingering dryness on the sides of your cheeks.     

Aroma: Soft and oaky nose with rich smells of dried currents.

Colour: Deep Purple

Rating:  5 out of 5.  A great full bodied wine with lots going on.  If you enjoy a chewy bold red wine, this is or you.  Great alone or would be awesome with a spicy roast or peppercorn steak, or someone special ;)
Awesome, go get one.
