A blend of Merlot 26%, Cab Franc 23%, Cab Sauv 19%, Syrah 15%, Sangiovese 12%, Petit Verdot 4%, Alicante 1%, deep Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits with sweet spicy notes. On the palate flavors of ripe blackberry and blueberry with cacao and black pepper. Fine tannins, ending with ripe fruits, cacao and spice. Tasting great now. — 9 days ago

Nose has dried blackberry, ripe blackberry, dried black currant, old leather, roses, dry potting soil and cut strawberry.

Palate has ripe blackberry, black cherry, cigar, dried cherry, dark chocolate powder with a long finish. Fine tannins still make themselves known, noting the potential of longevity. Exceptional.

Our last bottle on this vintage, it had been a good run, but quite likely this bottle will continue to evolve thru 2024+. 100% Sangiovese.

Pulled the cork, 6h of breathing, then 90m of decant before dinner. Paired to a slowly cooked Bolognese sauce, as expected they worked well. It was a cool and breezy day today, highs in the low 60's (F). The end of May is going out like early May came in, chilly. We got back into the 40's last night, but at least no snow like the first weekend! — 2 days ago

Fresh red cherry, red berries with an undertone of réglisse. Silky tannin, great depth which requires a good hour to open. Once opened amazing nose that takes you to another place, a place you feel high! Must be the alcohol. Great 2015 vintage for this super Tuscan. Cheers — 6 days ago

This had a Bordeaux like style with drying tannins showing black & red fruits, earth, leather, spice box & tobacco. Can’t see any more upside to hold as it seems to be fully mature. — 14 days ago

A blend of 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. Deep Ruby with red berry fruit aromas and sweet earthy spice. On the palate ripe cherry and strawberry with a touch of cinnamon spice, firm tannins, nicely balanced. Medium+ finish with toasty oak notes on the ending. Nice value. Consistent quality. — 10 hours ago

Juicy & fresh. The Syrah addition in this adds weight some darker fruited notes. This is a perfect Monday evening wine. Not much fuss, uncomplicated & delicious. — 9 hours ago

This is more of a Bordeaux blend in taste than a super Tuscan. The cab, Merlot and petit Verdot mix crosses borders and appellations in delicious ways. — 6 days ago

An excellent "second" wine from Luce Della Vite's estate. A nice nose of dark berries and red cherries. A medium body with intense but smooth dark fruits and a decent finish. Drinking very well right now. — 6 days ago

Me encanta este vino, había probado uno del 2016, aproveche y compre este del 2017, no tiene pierde vino fresco, frutado, la madera casi no se percibe, de color guinda profundo, en nariz: frutado, cerezas, café, vainilla, en boca: ligero, fresco, suave, frutado, redondo. De rancho nos invitaron un guiso de carne y arroz a la jardinera, ensalada de tomate, palta y lechuga, ¡delicioso! Calidad precio muy buena, temperatura 15° -16° C ¡Un abrazo! — 5 days ago
