<H1>Michaud Vineyard Sangiovese 2004 -- Wine Sense Shopping Cart</H1> <B>$32.99</B> <P> Michaud's Chalone Sangiovese showcases the famed Italian varietal's potential in the Chalone AVA. Displaying red cherry, cranberry and pomegranate flavors with a mineral underpinning. Chalone's growing conditions also help keep sangiovese's naturally high acidity in check, resulting in a wine that is well-structure and accessible. Drinking well now, particularly with an hour or so of decanting, this wine will develop nice secondary aromatic and taste characteristics with a couple of years of bottle age-if you can hold onto it that long.<br /><br /><b>Cheese Pairings</b>:&nbsp; Fontina Val d'Osta, Parmigiano Reggiano, Piave Vecchio<br /><b><br />Food Pairings</b>:&nbsp; Veal, Lasagna, Grilled Steak<br /></P> <P> <LI>Vintage: 2004 <LI>Region: Monterey County, California <LI>Organic: No <LI>Rating: NR <LI>Lifespan: Drink through 2010 <LI>Grape: Sangiovese </P> <P><B>Other products in the category <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/winesense/Category467" TITLE="California">California</A> / <A HREF="http://www.nexternal.com/winesense/Category480" TITLE="Red-other">Red-other</A>:</B> <BR clear=left><BR><LI><A HREF=http://www.nexternal.com/winesense/Product3052 TITLE="Bennett Lane Maximus Red 2005">Bennett Lane Maximus Red 2005</A> -- Firm, rich and intense, with ripe, vivid blackberry and wild berry fruit and a mix of currant and raspberry.
