TASTING NOTES: 

Ripe strawberries with blackberries and hints of tar. Full- to medium-bodied with powerful tannins and a chewy and juicy finish. Very structured. One to age in your cellar. Still very young. Try after 2025.

– James Suckling, 94 pts. 

A balanced red, with good freshness and tension, featuring fine, taut tannins that back dark, focused flavors of crushed blackberry, black plum reduction, cured tobacco, vanilla and minerally accents of smoke and iron. Chewy finish. Nero d’Avola and Perricone.
