Juicy ripe berries and black cherries on the nose here, with a hint of black licorice from the syrah. The juicy theme continues on the medium- to full-bodied palate, with firm, well-poised tannins and a long, clean finish. A tasty blend of 40% sangiovese, 20% syrah, 20% cabernet sauvignon and 20% merlot. There’s a touch of Douro character to this, which I like. Drink or hold.
