From near the Tuscan coast comes this Bordeaux-style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cab Franc. It’s a little rusty in color, with aromas of molasses and plums. The balance is classic, and there’s a hint of Medoc earthiness to it, maybe from the Cab Franc. With softer tannins than many, it’s already drinkable. ——M.S.(8/1/2002)—— 89
