Shows a nice blackberry and cherry character with notes of spices, tobacco, cedar box and touches of vanilla. This is full-bodied with fine-grained tannins and nice length on the finish. Solid now, but will benefit with just a little age. Composed of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot, 12% Cabernet Franc and 8% Sangiovese. (Best 2014-2020) - December, 2012 (JD)
