A blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cab Sauv, Dark Ruby with aromas of black fruit, cacao and herbs. On the palate blackberry, cherry and ripe plum flavors with tobacco and oak notes. Fine soft tannins with a medium finish, ending with a savory and earthy oak character. Drink now, at its peak.

Was lovely. We did aerate it with our Aervana electric wine aerator first which softened it nicely. Great with steak!

Tried a couple of years ago at a tasting, thought it needed time so I put a few bottles in my cellar, waiting paid off! A blend of 80% Sangiovese and 20% Cabernet Sauvignon, Dark red color, with aromas of black fruit and sweet herbs. On the palate blackberry, ripe plums and dried cherry flavors with smoke, tobacco and oak notes. Fine soft tannins with lingering finish, about medium, ending with earthy tones. This is about at its peak and should be consumed over the next year or so. Nice value!

Good legs. Hint of dryness that cuts the richness.
