Winemaker Notes
Deep ruby red, suggestive nose of plums and berries and with a hint of licorice; a fine wine with a complex bouquet.
Excellently suited to all variations of fish and different appetizers.

James Suckling
There’s a tension and focus to this blend of cabernet sauvignon, merlot and petit verdot. Medium to full body with firm and lightly chewy tannins.
Range: 92-93 -
Wine Spectator
This red is fresh and evokes blackberry, black currant, violet, iron and spice flavors. It's beefy, with a dense matrix of tannins lining the finish. Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc. Drink now through 2028.
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.
