Monsordo is an innovative concept and is a premier example of a modern, international wine with unmistakable roots in Piedmont. Fruit used here includes Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah and Nebbiolo and the overall effect it that of harmony and power. The wine is packed tight with red fruit, spice and tobacco and its texture is smooth, dense and rich. Very nice.——M.L.(12/1/2010)—— 92
