Wine Spectator
A pretty red, offering strawberry, raspberry, tobacco and spice flavors. This is backed by firm tannins and lively acidity, but stays balanced and long with a chewy finish. Best from 2016 through 2026. 2,000 cases imported.

Wine Enthusiast
Here's a bold and savory wine, with forward plum and coffee aromas and a hint of spice. The dense palate shows ripe plum, chocolate and coffee flavors, with spicy accents and big but round tannins.
Legendary in Italy for its Renaissance art and striking landscape, Tuscany is also home to many of the country’s best red wines. Sangiovese reigns supreme here, as either the single varietal, or a dominant player, in almost all of Tuscany’s best.
A remarkable Chianti, named for its region of origin, will have a bright acidity, supple tannins and plenty of cherry fruit character. From the hills and valleys surrounding the medieval village of Montalcino, come the distinguished and age-worthy wines based on Brunello (Sangiovese). Earning global acclaim since the 1970s, the Tuscan Blends are composed solely of international grape varieties or a mix of international and Sangiovese. The wine called Vine Nobile di Montepulciano, composed of Prognolo Gentile (Sangiovese) and is recognized both for finesse and power.
