I saw a couple of Montepulciano wines during my recent trip to Mudgee and this release from First Ridge Wines was one of the better examples. Bravo!
It spends 12 months in barrel and delivers all the Black Forest goodness that the variety is capable of showing. Long and persistent, I just want to get in deep with the chocolate, blackberries, black currants and plums - delicious! Well made with some grip and interest, not to mention the persistent finish, I'd happily recommend it.
