Duxoup Dry Creek Valley Sangiovese 2015

This bottle came about as a recommendation from someone at the local Party Source. They went on about this wine for awhile and decided to give it a shot. Duxoup Wine Works is located in Healdsburg, California. We frequented that area once upon a time and enjoyed some nice wines. The wine pours a medium bodied, somewhat clear red. Not nearly as dark as I would have hoped upon pouring. The aromas are loaded with red fruit, currant and a little smokiness. The mouthfeel has a bit of astringency from the tannins. Flavors of oak, bright cherries and a peppery finish. Even though this bottle is 2015 it comes across very young. Not incredibly complex and definitely to tight. Not real happy about the recommendation.
