A solid Cabernet of berry, cherry and currant character, with a hint of dried herbs. Medium-bodied, with well-integrated tannins and a medium finish. Better after 1998. 1,500 cases made.??–null??Region: Italy / Vino da Tavola-Tuscany Select to Add

Simply a splendid Super Tuscan that offers absolutely everything, and more. At 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, and 30% each of Merlot and Cabernet Franc, you could say Bordeaux has come to Tuscany with fine credentials. Rustic and full, with layers of clear, chewy fruit. Call it a 1% wine, meaning it is better than 99% of everything else.——M.S.(11/15/1999)—— 95
