Tenuta San Leonardo

Terre di San Leonardo Vigneti delle Dolomiti Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2016

A mountainous region in Northern Italy; Alto Adige is influenced by German culture. Alto Adige is made up of two separate but similar regions: Alto Adige and Trentino. This wine blend is medium red with ruby highlights. The aromas hints are of rose and cherry. A cranberry-ish tinged finish is finely enhanced with smooth tannins. Excellent pairing with Beef short rib stew. — 3 years ago

This '81 was amazing, and showed many facets through the evening.
The Préfert was really wonderful, the first time drinking Isabel's wines, delicious.

I fondly remember this wine. Had a couple of bottles in my dad’s cellar in the late 80’s. Some field mice got in and gnawed the top of the capsules off only two bottles in the cellar: both of the ‘81 Beaucastels! They knew. (They left the corks intact and the bottles were stellar.)

@Tom Casagrande One of the group members has a very deep, old, and obscure Italian biased cellar. I think he told us the winery hasn't been in production for a few decades 🤔

This was the group's top bottle of the evening, all served blind.
