The 2013 Fianchetto’ Red Wine is a massive blend of 56% Cabernet with the remainder Merlot and Cabernet Franc. The wine opens with a bouquet of black cherry, crème de Cassie, mocha, crushed gravel and Earl Grey tea. Dense and intense, there are ultra ripe flavors of mocha, creosote, coffee grounds, black olives and black tea with cherry syrup. The finish is exceedingly long. This is massive yet feminine as this really needs one more year to fully settle. The balance and mouth feel is exquisite. Powerful and seductive, this is another profound wine crafted by the talented hands of Billo Naravane. (Best 2017-2035) - June, 2017 (OB)
