Sharing with you the tasting notes of Santa Cristina Toscana 2016. This wine was recognized-by wineespectator.com as one of the top 10 Elegant Reds. This Toscana wine is widely available in US! For my Long Island winos I found it in Post Wine Spirits at only $8.99 is a great price for the quality of this wine. For quite some time I considered this as my house wine. But then the vintage 2016 is difficult to find. But the 2017, 2018 vintages I have found in TotalWine.com and is equally comparable.
