The scent of oak is all over this wine, though it is from neutral, not new, American barrels. Still it seems to over-ride the thin fruit, which hints at cherry candy and little else. The barrels also kick in a bit of spice, but there just isn’t much happening here. It’s simple, clean, and overpriced!

A relatively soft entry, tart plum fruit, simple berry flavors and a hint of burnt toast. There is a slight burn also in the finish, that reflects the near-15% alcohol. A little chocolaty film wraps the tannins.

Light fruit, with milk chocolate in the nose and on the palate, yields a simple wine with tangy acidity. It’s clean and fresh, but nondescript.

Roughly half of this is Barbera, the rest Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese. The Cab firms up the tannins, but the fruit lacks substance and depth, and the chocolaty oak does not add much interest.

This is the best of Locati’s three new releases, but not a lot different than the others. Light, tart, neutral and showing little ripeness, it’s got watermelon and strawberry flavors, lots of citric acid, and no depth.
