Tasting Notes
Tasting Notes

Nose here is a scented, domestic red fruit liqueur. I could find raspberries and cherries; overtones of mint and smoke. The entry is a dead heat between the richness of fruit and the freshness of the acidity. In fact, this is a fabulously fresh wine, direct and with minerals appended to that freshness. Very long, the structure fully integrated. A very lovely thing.Bowes Wine original note

…it is going to make Sesti fans very happy over a long and broad drinking window.Eric Guido of vinous.com

 

Sweetness Explained
Sweetness Explained

Sweetness

All our wines are given a Sweetness Indicator from 1 to 5, with 1 being the driest and 5 being the sweetest.
This can be found for every wine under the Wine Details tab. 

Most red wines are dry and therefore are indicated with a 1. The sweetness becomes more relevant with white wines, sparkling wines and pudding/dessert wines such as Sauternes and Tokaji.
