Product Description
The nose exudes ripe plums with spices of nutmeg and cinnamon. There is also an herbal tone of bay leaf and cypress. The mouthfeel has soft and supple tannins with very approachable acids. Flavors explode with lavender, tart raspberries and hints of white pepper. The acids carry the finish of licorice and lingering ripe tangerine.

 

Winemaker Notes

The 2018 Chianti Classico Riserva possesses rich fruit aromas of ripe plum, floral notes of honeysuckle and earthy hints of forest floor. An incredibly silky palate carries through the beautiful balance of fruit and earth flavors - like eating wild

blueberries off the vine - with dominate notes of bright red cherries and dark chocolate. The finish is long and intriguing, showcasing classic notes of orange peel with undertones of cedar and tobacco. The vibrant acidity suggests the wine will age gracefully for years to come and that 2018 will be remembered as a great year. 

Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 10% Cabernet Sauvignon

James Suckling 93
Lots of blueberry and black-cherry aromas. Medium-bodied with round, ripe tannins that have a tight texture. Firm and intense. Drink or hold.
