Like the San Martino, the 2006 Cortaccio (100% Cabernet Sauvignon) is a large-frame wine with fleshy tones that define its very composition. Finely etched aromas of dark leather, syrupy creme de cassis, rum cake, mocha fudge and toasted brown sugar or caramel explode from the glass. In the mouth, Cortaccio delivers enormous power and super-thick concentration. It’s almost too much of a good thing. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2022.
