The decision to hold this wine for a late release was a wise one. It shows real "Super Tuscan” flair regardless of its Napa origins, with the Cabernet Sauvignon in front defining the structure and fruit profile, accented by Sangiovese’s acidity and red fruit and Merlot’s richness. It is beautifully assembled, bright, very long on the finish and headed for a long life. The packaging makes it quite attractive as a gift possibility, and the stuff inside lives up to the fancy bottle. Contains 73% Cabernet Sauvignon, 15% Merlot and 12% Sangiovese.
