The 2001 Crosara, which uses the house’s best Merlot grapes, displays sweet aromas of plum and cherry fruit and chocolate, ample and polished flavors, and a depth and concentration which should guarantee good drinking until 2012. Only a bit of acidity on the tail prevents the score from going higher. Importer: Winebow, Hohokus, NJ; tel. (201) 445-0620
