WINEMAKER NOTES:
A captivating Supertuscan that joins the four red varieties. On the nose the scent is characterized by hints of red fruits with intense cherry tones, accompanied by spicy notes of licorice and pepper. Broad structure, with sweet and powerful tannins, very balanced with a persistent finish.
TASTING NOTES:
Tightly knit and supple, delivering black currant, blackberry, violet and graphite aromas and flavors. This harmonious red shows a well-integrated structure, with terrific energy and length. Though approachable now, this should really hit its stride in a year or two. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah.
-Wine Spectator, 95 pts.
The nose is full of dark, macerated, rich fruit, with texture coming from slightly dusty undertones of dried fig, pepper and flint. On the palate, a smudge of graphite boosts the pepper, against persistent dark fruit, before a creamy, sweet blueberry finish. Highly polished tannins create a lush mouthfeel.
- Wine Enthusiast, 94 pts.
Fresh and vivid nose of cherries, spices and dried citrus peel. Medium-bodied, tense and lightly chewy, yet lively and refreshing with crunchy tannins. Juicy, with subtle floral and citrusy character at the end.
