Wine Review: This very dark ruby colored Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot blend from Tuscany opens with a cigar box, new leather, and red cherry bouquet with a hint of pomegranate. On the palate, this wine is medium plus bodied with medium plus acidity. The mouthfeel is balanced, round, bright and mouthwatering. The flavor profile is a cedar influenced red plum and raspberry blend with notes of stony minerality and tart cherry. I also detected hints of pomegranate and black tea. The finish is dry, and its moderate dusty tannins stick around for quite a while. This well-made wine is very Old World styled. I would pair it with Italian bricole. Enjoy – Ken

Winemaker Notes: A full-bodied wine of intense red fruit flavor and elegantly supple texture supported by ripe, silky tannins. The Merlot in the blend is expressed in sweet black fruit with overall aromas of ripe, concentrated berries offset by restrained spicy oak notes. Pair with meat sauce pastas and roasted meats.
