Light and tight fruit flavors of pretty berry open slowly after plenty of breathing time. The wine is nicely structured, balanced with the addition of 12% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Malbec—the only drawback is the almost complete lack of aroma. Even with extended airing, the fruit comes up but the nose stays closed, giving the impression of a shortened finish. — (7/1/2012) —88

The addition of 11% Cabernet Sauvignon and 12% Malbec adds meat and muscle to this otherwise moderately light Sangio. Tart strawberry and pomegranate fruit is set against thicker tannins. Firm acids carry flavors of lemon and orange rind into the finish.——P.G.(5/1/2011)—— 88
