Coriole Vineyards McLaren Vale Sangiovese

Coriole has spent almost 30 years pioneering sangiovese in Australia, and 2012 captures the varietal signature of this Italian variety as well as any I can remember. Its savoury and textural personality is epitomised in tangy red cherry and strawberry fruits, olive and tomato flavours, underlined by confident structure of firm, fine tannins, completed with seamless persistence and classic sangiovese acid line. $18 at Discount Wines.
