Cantine Dei
Sancta CatharinaToscana Super Tuscan Blend
Tuscany, Italy
It's time for some Merlot on this #MerlotThursday. This time it's not a whole lot of Merlot, but it wil have to do.
Dark ruby in color with a short reddish rim.
Medium plus in body with medium acidity.
Dry on the palate with nice complexity and mouthfeel.
Showing blackberries, plums, cooked cherries, oak, vanilla, licorice, spices, chocolates, tobacco, herbs, light earth, espresso and light cola.
Long finish with fine grained tannins and tangy cherries.
This is a delicious Bordeaux blend from Tuscany. Fruit forward and well balanced. Alcohol is nicely integrated.
Needs time to open up properly, but delicious right out of the bottle.
A delicious wine with so much potential. Will continue to age nicely in the next 10 years.
Easy drinking and good by itself or with food.
A blend of 30% Merlot, 30% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Sangiovese and 10% Petit Verdot. Aged for 24 months in French oak barrels. A small production of only 3,800 bottles made, this is bottle # 2,096.
14.5% alcohol by volume.
92 points.
$70.
