Pure and focused with absolutely gorgeous fresh dark fruits, currants, blackberries, coffee, spice, graphite, warm toasty oak and pretty violet notes mixed in. This is full-bodied yet refined with a seamless structure that caresses your pallet right into the finish where it delivers a ton of mouthwatering dark fruit that lingers on and on. A fascinating wine that truly is a balance between old word Italian structure and new world fruit. There is something for fans of all styles here. Composed of Sangiovese 45%, Merlot 55% (Best 2013-2028) - October, 2012 (JD)
