Expressive and charming, featuring cherry, strawberry, and rose flavors with flashes of wild herbs and iron. The vibrant structure drives this red's flavors and keeps everything focused. Ends with a long, fruity, minerally, and spicy aftertaste. Sangiovese and Merlot. Drink now through 2040. —B.S.
A structured Chianti Classico with black berries, black cherries, and hints of cedar. Full-bodied, chewy and flavorful. Needs a year or two to soften. Best after 2023.
What We Thought: This begins with aromas of tart black cherry that lead to a very dry, medium-bodied, Ripe black cherry palate accented by notes of black pepper, leather, and licorice, supported by some subdued but supple tannins.
