    This is a solidly built wine with ripe black-fruit flavors and lots of texture. It looks deeper than usual, smells like blackberries and black pepper, and tastes dry, full and firmly tannic.

  • 201282 pts

    This has sharp, tangy aromas, tart cranberry flavors, a lean texture and drying tannins that seem to coat the teeth. Difficult to enjoy on its own, it needs to pair with very rich, fatty food to tame the tannins.

    There's a cinnamon and clove sweetness in aroma of this Sangiovese, which would be a fine accompaniment to pizza or pasta during the week.
