Top Notes For

8.8

Bright and clear deep ruby. Inviting nose of black cherry, plum, and violet. Medium bodied palate yields black cherry, black cranberry, and light patent leather surrounded by firm acidity and medium plus tannins. Food? Yes! Rich Tuscan fare or hearty American pizza will be equally at home. Can’t wait to try the Riserva! Drink now through 2028 with modest development).
