Nello Olivo Wines, El Dorado County (California) Toscanello 2011

Apr 3, 2014

By Rich Cook

This wine is a blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, and it delivers aromas of cherry, raspberry, vanilla and fall spice.  The palate translates the aromas into flavors seamlessly, adding baker’s chocolate and mild dried herbs.  The finish brings the chocolate forward without smothering the red fruit character.  Very pleasing!
