Masterpiece blend of Cabernet Franc, Cab Sauv, and Merlot. Intense and heady aroma of stewed plum, chewy raisins, leather and rosemary. A little lighter on the tongue with some oak. But still very well rounded with deep and complex fruit. The Jackson family experiment in Tuscany is a great success.

I won’t repeat what I said in December 2019 when I reviewed the flavor profile. This is a great wine with structure, structure, structure. Amazing what can be done with a majority cab franc blend.

This is a gorgeous red. Medium-full bodied with soft tannins. Acid, fruit and oak are all in balance.

Dark and inky strands blending chocolate, coffee, fig, blackberries, and cedar. Dry tannins in a long finish. 77% cabernet franc, 17% merlot, 6% Cabernet Sauvignon

Dark chocolate, cherries, raspberries, minerals, and some oak. Rich and ripe with moderate tannins and lots of acidity. Beautiful integration of many elements.

Vibrant, vivacious but mellow. Hangs on the palate after it awakens the taste buds.
