Big House Red (California 2005)

Category: Blend — Mike @ 2:30 pm

	A California Blend of Sangiovese. Carignane, and Charbono. This wine gets it’s name from the fact that the vinyard it comes from is right next to the Soledad State Prison in California….hence…The Big House
	$10

This would be good as a starter wine and would go with lots of foods. Simple, easy to drink. Starts out strong but the finish disappears quickly. Tastes good but not much too it, not complex. Easy to have with pretty much anything. The wine for the non-wine drinker. *She is a girl that does not have too much depth to her. She can get boring in a hurry. This is not to say she is bad; just don’t take out to a five star dinner. She would be fine with a pizza.*

I’m actually commenting on the CARMENERE from Chile - Concha Y Toro Casillero del Diablo but am directed to comment under this Californian Sangionvese wine instead???? I’d like to comment on the Chilean wine since I’ve never had this Californian one…?? Anyways……I fully agree with your opinion of this Chilean wine. I first tried it at a wine tasting party about three years ago where you had to guess the wine etc etc…I was not overly impressed with it but for the price I was quite satisfied with the overall taste. 3 and a half stars for me as well!
