A floral and bright red with brambleberry character. Cedar, too. Medium body with very fine tannins that are polished and beautiful. Long and refined. So delicious. A complete and balanced Tuscan red. A blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot, sangiovese, syrah and petit verdot. Drink now.

Wine Enthusiast
This Sangiovese blended with Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah offers a nose of black cherry, chocolate, dirt and coffee grinds, with a palate of bing cherries, medicinal herbs and more coffee. A velvety richness is brought by easygoing tannins while bouncy acid gives a back palate reminiscent of a glass of Manhattan Special.

Gains intensity from the cherry and blackberry flavors, which are augmented by earth, tobacco and menthol accents. The solid structure lends support and a vibrant feel. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah.
