Da funk and Sangiovese

I’m a little late for 2009, but what the heck. My first review of 2010 will be a review of bass players I loved in 2009…not that I still don’t love them. And to go with da funk, how about a 2007 Sangiovese Di Majo Norante. It’s a delicious, full-bodied wine that compliments the low end (and is especially good with pizza). The grape is the same used in Chianti, but this is a bit more delicate with a bouquet of berries and violets, deep red color, and a fruity palate that’s smooth and juicy. Nice, long, polished finish. Wine Advocate gave it a 90 and I concur, especially since I only paid $12.00. Now it’s time to get down! Happy New year!
