Deep Ruby with aromas of black berry fruits, sweet spice and licorice. On the palate flavors of juicy plum, currants and blackberry with cinnamon pepper, good acidity and mouthfeel, with big intense approachable dusty tannins. Long finish, good balance ending with jammy fruit and sweet spice, good now but a few years will enhance.

Holy moly, THIS is a Cabernet! Outstandingly smooth, had bountiful dark fruits, supple Rutherford dusty tannins, sweet tobacco and mocha notes and a smooth chocolate finish begging for another sip. Absolutely some of Amici's finest for sure. Velvet in a bottle this is. Mmm.

A pleasure to drink. Dark fruit, Madagascar chocolate, strong and balanced like Libra. I'll be on the lookout for more Morisoli designates.

Wow. Rich and weighty. Really nice Notes of cedar and cherry on the nose. Well balanced and huge. Super long finish. Well done!

Deep ruby coloration. On the nose, dark cherry and anise. On the palate, dark cherry, plum, anise, very jammy and fruit forward, rounded out with vanilla and after breathing for some time, chocolate. Finishes with medium tannins and hints of vanilla and cherry cola.
