The first year of LUCE... 1993 was cool vintage and a cool subdued beginning in the glass with great acidity and tannin opening up over time... Sangiovese Merlot blend that is still showing beautifully. Last sip was the best.

My pops Tim Mondavi and Lamberto Frescobaldi made this wine together... 1993 was our first vintage as a joint venture and now the Freacobaldis continue to make great wines! The 94 was on point...

Licorice on the nose, Stilton on the palate; tinge of quarter life crisis in the bouquet. Good.
