91+ The red-fruited 2017 Sangiovese Cinghiale wafts from the glass with seductive and savory tones of bright sour cherry, dusty raspberries tossed in dried herbs and a hint of scorched earth. The palate is just ripe yet strict, with focused tannins and lively acidity, while the mid-palate is firm and grippy with tart red fruits, standing firm with a dusty core on the long, winding finish. The wine is typical of its style and makes me crave truffle sausages. It's a food-friendly wine that belongs at the dinner table. This is a good value, and with only 960 cases produced, these will sell fast. - Anthony Mueller
