Chrismont, Sangiovese 2004, King Valley, ($17)

After the big let down of Chrismont's marzemino 2004 a couple of months ago I wasn't overly optimistic about this one. So it came as a really nice surprise to drink this earthy, woody and fragrant sangiovese. Very different from the other sangiovese's I've had and pleasurably so. Medium to full bodied in an interestingly aged way. Return visit recommended.
