The 2016 Le Redini (90% Merlot and 10% Alicante) is a bright and exuberant wine that is loaded tight with energy and freshness. The wine shows a dark, inky appearance, yet it proves buoyant and mid-weight in terms of texture. Dark cherry, blackberry and fresh plum rise to the top. You can taste that spicy freshness from the Merlot planted in a cool, high-altitude position.
