Wine Spectator
There's wonderful intensity of fruit in this wine, with crushed raspberry and blackberry and hints of coffee and fresh flowers. Full-bodied, with velvety tannins and a long, soft-textured finish that shows loads of fruit. Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Best after 2010.

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
The 2007 Tre is absolutely beautiful in this vintage. Soft, supple tannins frame expressive dark fruit, flowers, grilled herbs and spices. The wine blossoms in the glass, showing wonderful freshness and clarity to match the richness of the fruit. Floral notes add a sense of lift on the long, round finish. The 2007 Tre is one of the standouts of the vintage in its price range. As the name implies, Tre is a blend of three varieties; Sangiovese, Merlot and Cabernet Sauvignon. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2017.
