Santa d’Sas The King and I Nuovo Rosso 2019

An intriguing King Valley offering of Merlot, supported by dollops of Dolcetto and Sangiovese, the finished blend is matured in 4KL concrete “Eiffel” tanks. Deep crimson colour, the nose gives aromas of raspberries, bay leaves, dry herbs and a hint of beef stock. The wine has some punch and offers slightly gritty tannins on the finish. There is decent intensity on its medium length. The palate also sees the emergence of notes not dissimilar to vegemite characters. Enjoy over the next three to four years. A little different but worth trying.
