this is the first vintage for this blend of 75% cabernet sauvignon and 25% sangiovese. ripe, lush and complex, it offers flavors of plum and cassis, with an appealing texture and moderately gripping tannins. there's life and snap to the finish, and though it's already delicious just two years after the vintage, another year or two of bottle age should see it continue to improve.
