* Expert NoteJanuary 12, 2012
From the Orcia area of Tuscany, here’s a blockbuster 70-30 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot with deep concentration and thick density. Evident woodshop or carpentry tones come into play, leaving long-lasting flavaors of vanilla bean, chocolate and coffee. The wine has tart, plump tannins that need a few more years of bottle aging before they settle into place. Drink after 2015.

Dark density sets the tone and so do thick aromas of vanilla bean, toasted oak and coffee. The wine is firm but smooth and offers a blast of cherry freshness on the close. With all the oak, it’s hard to find Sangiovese’s naturally delicate nuances. Big, bold red wine enthusiasts will love it.
