Vitiano Falesco 2005 - Cabernet, Merlot, Sangiovese


We got this wine as a gift from a friend, but we'd seen it at the wine store and we're pretty sure it was $8.99 at CostCo.

My first impression was sourness. I'd like to say it got better... but unfortunately, still sour without any redeeming characteristics. No notable flavours.

This wine is sort of lacking in flavor. It smells a bit like a cabernet savignon with a hint of pepper - not a bad aroma, but not very strong. When I taste it, it sort of starts with a bit of pepper, a bit of alcohol, and finishes a bit sour - not a great sequence for me. It also leaves an almost indigestion-y feeling in the back of my throat. I wouldn't buy this one again.
