The 2003 Rivalta is a blend of 64% Carmenere, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 8% Syrah. Opaque purple in color, it reluctantly offers scents of scorched earth, pain grille, blueberry, plum, and black currants. There are clearly superior raw materials here but the wine remains tightly wound. Should it develop in the bottle as I think it will, my score will appear rather conservative in 6-8 years.Importer: T.G.I.C. Importers, Woodland Hills, CA; tel. (800) 924-0030
