winemaker's notes:

"The single-vineyard 2003 Chianti Rufina Riserva Vigneto Bucerchiale is made from the estate's finest Sangiovese fruit. It is a ripe, powerful wine boasting explosive dark fruit, licorice, chocolate and sweet toasted oak on an ample, structured frame, with a kick from the alcohol on the finish. Today it appears that the flavors will mature faster than the tannins will resolve. Anticipated maturity: 2007-2017."
Robert Parker's The Wine Advocate
90 Points

"Intense smoky nose with enticing violet and plum sensations; dense palate with black cherry-berry flavors and a spicy close. Surprisingly fresh and refined for the vintage, with firm tannins. Great concentration and length; will age wonderfully."

 I would buy this wine again
I had an opportunity to meet this wine over the weekend, and boy, this was a straight shooter with upper management written all over it.

Kosher wine
Kosher
A Kosher wine begins like every other - as grapes on a vine. Once they reach the winery for crushing, the wine is under strict rabbinal supervision.
Screw Cap wine
Screw Cap
Many studies report and winemakers agree that screw caps protect wine better and preserve its flavor more effectively than cork. More importantly, screw caps eliminate cork taint caused by TCA, a compound which develops in a small percentage of corks and ruins the taste of wine.
Green wine
Green Wines
Wines that use sustainable, organic and/or biodynamic practices in the vineyard and/or winemaking process. We rely on a number of U.S. and International certifications to qualify wines "green."

About Professional Ratings

These wine ratings are based on a 100-point quality scale, and are selected by each publication's unique criteria. Some wine ratings are expressed as ranges. When this occurs we will list the highest score in the range and note the full range within the tasting note.

While ratings may influence your decision, the ultimate judgment is your palate.
