This is 60% Sangiovese, the rest a mix of Bordeaux grapes. Airfield Estates produces a wide variety of mixed red blends, each centered upon a particular grape. But here, as with the others, the dominant grape's varietal character is subsumed in a wash of mixed reds, and the results tend to seem generic. Pleasant, quaffable, but without varietal distinction.
