Wine Spectator
Intense aromas and flavors of violet, cassis, blackberry and tar highlight this concentrated red. Fresh and balanced, though this will take some time to reach equilibrium. The finish is saturated with dark berry fruit.

This is a red with impressive ripeness of dark berry, mineral, lavender and nutmeg. Full body, soft, polished tannins and a chocolate, light coffee and cedar character. Merlot. Better in 2016.
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.
