The 2006 Offida Esperanto is a blend of Montepulciano and Cabernet Sauvignon. Here you have a savory and deeply concentrated red wine with evolved flavors of dried blackberry, spice, leather and dark licorice. The wine is definitely on the ripe and jammy side with soft tannins and sweet fruit flavors of prune and dried cherry. The wine delivers ample power and not much in the way of complexity or finesse.
