    A pretty mineral note appears at the very beginning of this Sangiovese-Merlot-Cabernet Sauvignon blend and is followed by ripe fruit flavors and a touch of caper or green olive. The wine is rich and plush, with a long-lasting finish.

    This 70-20-10 blend of Syrah, Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot shows loads of zesty pepper and green spice. Aromatically speaking, the Cabernet component seems strongest. There's bright blackberry and cherry in the mouth with a touch of natural rubber.
