This blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet has a brilliant ruby color giving it an amazing presence in the glass. Having spent time in new French oak, the wine has toasted oak notes meshed with dark cherry and blackberry as well as a hint of vanilla and pepper. Nice long, memorable finish with soft, supple tannins - overall the wine was very well integrated. Very good wine that is ready to drink now but may reward another year in the bottle. foodandwineblog.com

Very expressive classic Chianti that is resolved and silky now. Love it.
