Wine Spectator Top 100 of 2006! An internationally-styled, super Tuscan blend of Sangiovese, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this wine's dense aromas of cassis and black stone fruit are offset by notes of herbs, spice and sweet oak which carry onto a ripe palate marked by firm tannic structure. Fabulous aromas of ripe blackberry, cappuccino and toasty oak. Full-bodied, with masses of fruit and super velvety tannins. Long and gorgeous. All there. Best after 2009. -Wine Spectator
