The 2011 Stickybeak Toscana begins with the signature Sangiovese sour cherry notes along with a little vanilla and mint. Tasting the wine reveals lots of tart cherry, some cola and really nice dried herbs. This wine is probably still a bit young, but quite good already and the Merlot and Syrah make for a tasty blend. Thanks to good acidity this wine will be fairly food flexible as well. It ends with more tart cherry and good length.
