There's a purity to the violet, black cherry and brambly dark berry fruit in this spiced red. This is very polished and well-integrated, with a lacy, refined texture, and it layers subtle notes of dried beef and pipe smoke through to the long finish.

Sweet spice and brambly notes of forest floor and white mushroom open the nose of this interesting Amarone. You’ll appreciate the savory notes that set this wine apart from many of the jammy, over-sweet expressions on the market today. ——M.L.(2/1/2011)—— 90
