Mantus, a 100% Merlot from the Montalcino area of Tuscany, shows territory-driven aromas of mineral and white stone backed by plush fruit and loads of cherry. It's a fine, elegant wine without that extra ripeness or jamminess you sometimes see with warm climate Merlot.

This Montalcino-based Merlot has a lot going on but is just a tad too raw and ripe to break into the 90-points range. On the nose, it offers a mélange of strawberry, blueberry, almond, balsam notes and mint. The tannins are silky and smooth.
