This is a very interesting blend of 50% Sangiovese, 20% Dolcetto, 20% Zinfandel, 10% Merlot. The wine is definitely deeply into its tertiary stage, fruit forward, smooth and elegant, it opens with dried herbs and cranberries with ripe black cherries, dates, figs and tobacco leaf. A very cool wine that held up nicely, although I would suggest to drink this sooner rather than later as its definitely at peak. 87-88
