Torzi Matthews Vigna Cantina Sangiovese 2009

Eden Valley producer Dominic Torzi with italian heritage has done well here..delicious dark cherry fruit, pot pourri, leather, fresh herbs and spice. Brunello, Piccillo and Grosso sangiovese clones were used. Good length, grip and structure.

This 09 vintage was an exceptional season in the Barossa.

RRP $25

Some reviews of 08 vintage:

"For another side to the big shiraz world that is the Barossa three sub-regional sources - Gomersal, Moppa and Kalimna - go into this small-run, hand made rustic sangio that has all the cherry boxes and lipsmacking tannins and acidity you'd expect from the variety." 92 POINTS Tony Love Adelaide Advertiser Indulge Aug 09

"Deep Red. Sexy aromas of cherry-vanilla, dried flowers, mint and brown spices. Lush, slightly sweet red and dark berry flavors are given grip by a bitter cherry skin quality and framed by velvety tannins. A broad, fleshy, almost liqueur-like style of sangiovese, with strong finishing spiciness and very good persistence" 90 POINTS Josh Raynolds, Stephen Tanzer's International Wine Cellar - Jul/Aug 09
