Millepassi (one-thousand footsteps) is an austere and sophisticated Bolgheri blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot and Merlot. The wine is very ripe (just shy of being exaggeratedly mature or jammy) with bright aromas of strawberry, spice, blackberry and dense chocolate.

This is one of those warm-colored rosés with hues that span from bright pink to peachy orange to brownish amber. Despite its full and generous appearance, the wine leaves less of a mark on the nose and mouth. It’s fresh and lean, with distant peach and white mineral over a crisp but watery mouthfeel.

This creamy Vermentino from coastal Tuscany offers a pretty bouquet of yellow rose and exotic fruit for a fuller, more opulent style. The wine is round and pleasurable in the mouth and the only detraction here is the high alcohol.

Tageto is a Bordeaux blend from Coastal Tuscany that will appeal to those who like an element of soft, chewy sweetness in their wines. It’s bold and big on the palate with enduring persistency and layers of sweet strawberry, cinnamon and nutmeg.

This is a dynamic and exciting wine with loads of depth and personality. The hearty blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc opens with blackberry, spice, mature cherry, plum and leather. It feels compact and tight in the mouth and the finish is long and full of lively fruit flavor.

Here’s an inky Bolgheri blend (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Petit Verdot and Cabernet Franc) with careful attention to detail and a sharp focus on black currants, cassis and dried lavender. Spicy oak tones fill in the background, giving the wine texture and weight. There are bitter cherry flavors on the close that add to the wine’s astringency and structure.

Thick concentration and penetrating notes of Asian spice and cassis characterize this blend. Pretty background aromas include creamy coffee, caramel and deep oak tones and although the wood is well-integrated you can feel its presence.
