2002 Silverado Vineyards, Fantasia, Napa Valley

This is a Super Tuscan style blend, made from 55% Sangiovese, 42% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 3% Zinfandel.

Color is medium garnet. I got raspberry on the nose. The forward fruit has raspberry and strawberry flavors. The middle palette has high acid and red cherry flavors. The long finish is fruity, with only light, soft tannins. This wine is brimming with fresh fruit flavors. It seems to be intended for near term drinking. List price is $50, which seems rather steep. My rating 86.
