Merlot dominant with fruit, velvet tannins, and balanced acidity. — 2 months ago
Chosen because it had a boar on it. Quite good though - a lighter style, well balanced via blending. At Osteria di Giovanni in Florence. — 4 days ago

Another easy to drink at pop & pour. It’s a blend of 30% Syrah, 20% Cab Franc, 16% Merlot, only 10% Sangiovese, 6% Petit Verdot & 2% Grenache. As IGT as IGT can get. At 59.95 a bit pricey. Better at $45.
Nice ripe; blackberries, dark and slightly sour cherries, black plum skin, moist clays, muddy sandstone, pleasant spice, light, fresh tobacco, used leather, touch of tomato leaf, moist, mushy volcanic minerals, dry twig, dusty stones, dark & red, withering flowers, round acidity, well balanced, soft tension, mid structured, round lush finish that lasts 90 seconds and falls on oak powder, spice and pleasant soils. — 10 days ago
