Notes | |||
"Ruby red with garnet hues. The wine expresses a distinctive Tuscan bouquet of violet, cherry, and plum, with aromas of chocolate and spice. Intense aromas of violet, blackberry, cherry, and ripe plum with intriguing notes of cinnamon and clove. Classic elegance and structure in which the fruit, tannins, and spices form a tightly woven balance, with a lingering finish of chocolate and coffee." —winemaker |
Critical Acclaim | |||
"Black-cherry and cola aromas with hints of toasted oak. Medium-bodied with firm tannins and a tight, linear finish. Hints of mushrooms and cedar. Drink or hold." —James Suckling "Round and juicy, this red delivers black cherry, plum, tobacco and iron flavors, with a light smoky undertone. Fluid and harmonious, with solid tannins lining the long finish. Drink now through 2028. 20,800 cases made." —Wine Spectator |
