The 2017 Terre di San Leonardo keeps you coming back to the glass to take in its intense bouquet of spiced raspberries, black licorice, crushed chalk and peppery florals. This is silky with depths of dark wild berries and inner herbal tones, all accelerated by brisk acids and a subtle hint of sour citrus. It leaves the palate reeling, lightly structured yet spry, as a primary coating of red and black fruit slowly fades. The warmth of the vintage has imparted another level of richness that isn’t often found from the Terre di San Leonardo, making it an excellent option for near-term enjoyment. This is a blend of 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Carmenère from the younger vines on the San Leonardo estate. (Eric Guido, Vinous, June 2022)

A rich black cherry nose on this one with a note of cooked fruit and higher than normal alcohol. Cherry core really sings with some tea leaf notes in the back drop. Needs another 8 years or so for the tannins to calm down.

Dark ruby color. Peppery smell. Floral, ripe red fruit. Nice acidity, but mostly silky smooth and juicy. Very drinkable by itself, and a flavor profile that I very much enjoy. Purchased from Vons.
