Toscana Merlot


Gorgeous plummy open fruit with lifted bright white notes. The most merlot-like off the four.

I love this wine because it is so varietally correct. Plush fruit, bell pepper, earth and some oak for accent

Leather oil, blackberry, and dank spice. Tannins are velvety, dense, fine. Pretty long hang time

+1 hour decant(lots of sediment). A gorgeous dark purplish magenta color. On the nose: very aeromatic nose of dark cherry, black olives, tobacco, toasty oak, eucalyptus, roasted meat, milk chocolate. Taste: deep, rich, silky, creamy wine with dark plum, bitter coffee grounds, earth, licorice, new leather, graphite, dried herbs, pepper, and a medium plus finish. YUM!

Green pepper in the nose and mouth. Not worth the heavy price tag.

Apr 7th, 2018Legendary. Name speaks for itself.... it speaks volumes after its gone... evanescent dark leather, ripe wooden room, heady aftertaste, cinnamon and dark impulsive spices. Not for nothing this is Italy's tour de force
