I know I should be holding this longer, but I had to try a bottle. It was fantastic. Soft and lush, without being jammy. Really nice bottle of Cabernet. Glad I've got three more in the cellar.

Exactly what you hope for in a glass of Brunello. Not sure why CT shows a drinking window starting in 2021, because this is showing really well right now. Smooth, soft, good fruit, and classic flavor profiles for a tuscan wine. Great with pizza too!

Astounding wine. Don't know how Pinot Noir can get much better. Balanced and flavorful, with just the right mix of acidity and fruit. Delicate, but with a long finish. Cherry pie and forest floor. Many wines in this price range don't seem to merit the expense, but this one does. Probably worth much more!
