A well-presented and framed Sangiovese from Pikes in the Clare Valley.
For $27, this is a well-priced, reliable expression of the variety. Red cherries and sour cherries swarm the mouth with some meatiness and fine spices. More of a fruit-forward style with that varietal acid crunch making itself known, it is ready for immediate drinking as it ticks the box for those seeking a respectable red to wash down a bowl of pasta or a slice of pizza.
