From the folks at Aqulini Brands, this is a bold wine that satisfies due to its tannic structure that helps tame the ripeness level. Fall spice notes and some unobtrusive heat extend the finish. I would age this wine a while – maybe three years for openers – to let the structure calm a bit. There’s good quality to price ratio here. Contains 2% Petit Verdot.
