2013 Top 100 - Rank # 66
This offers seductive aromas of ripe blackberries with dark cherry along with cedar, licorice, fresh minerals, tobacco and even hints of vanilla and raisin. Balanced and focused with polished tannins and beautiful rich velvety texture that brings this wine to the next level. The finish is long and pretty picking up some spicy notes. This is approachable now but is also a candidate for long term cellaring. Composed of 70% Sangiovese, 20% Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc, 10% Merlot. (Best 2013-2024) - February, 2013 (JD)
