The 2014 Sinclair 'Appassionata' is a Super Tuscan style wine, made from largely Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon with the remainder Syrah. Like many of these new releases by Sinclair, this needs extended air contact before it begins to fully express itself. Red currant, nutmeg, spicebox and red bell pepper with milk chocolate aromas all slow take shape in the glass. This possesses a silky mouthfeel, which connects with the strong acidity as flavors of dark fruits nicely intermingle with chocolate and sagebrush flavors and linger effortlessly on the finish.
