The 2009 Lucente offers up a hefty dosage of fresh blackberries, black cherry, leather, sandalwood, licorice, mocha and even some spicy molasses notes. This is full-bodied with rich layers leading up to the beautiful long chewy finish. Composed of 75% Merlot an d 25% Sangiovese, this is the best Lucente I have had to date.
