Medium ruby color, this Merlot dominant Bordeaux blend is elegant and beguiling. Black cherry, plum, cassis, mint, eucalyptus, violet, forest floor, cedar, tobacco leaf and freshly turned earth. Lovely, smooth velvet tannins balanced with firm acidity and a long finish. Beautiful wine.

Bit heavy on the new oak, but it’s understandable as this wine needs A LOT of time. Black and blue fruits meld with smoky oak and vanilla plus good acid. Dried herbs and minerals mid-palate coupled with a long fruity finish. Cellar it.

A Beautiful Sonoma Cabernet nose, with blackberries, blueberries, cherries, licorice, oak, vanilla, oak, vanilla, earth, sage, tar, flat cola, spices, herbs, animal notes, wild flowers and peppercorn.
Full bodied and smooth, with medium acidity and long legs.
Dry and fruity on the palate with blackberries, black currants, plums, vanilla, licorice, light oak, leather, smoke, chocolates, cola, dark coffee, sage, eucalyptus, black pepper and spices.
Long finish with round tannins and spices.
This is a Great Super Tuscan, with a California Cabernet feel. Balanced, complex, interesting and enjoyable by itself or with food.
Good right out of the bottle with a lot of cola and licorice notes. This Merlot based Tuscan, is not my usual drinker, but I really enjoyed it. At $70, it is a little expensive, though.
I paired it with grilled steak and vegetables.

Rich, opulent and fleshy, but a bit bitter and heavy on the oak. 2009 was a warm, late ripening vintage in Tuscany, so it makes sense in the glass. Not a 30-year wine, bit a great bottle for right now.
