TThis 2002 is a blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon. This tasting exceeded earlier tastings, more complex, smoother and more harmonious; dark garnet color, medium to full body with the full forward, complex tight black berry fruits masked accented by hints of sweet mocha and caramel, with notes of smoke and charcoal before giving way to aromatic floral and bright tangy black cherry fruits with spicy, firm tannins on the aromatic, lingering finish.

Lots of fruit. A little lite on finish. Not necessarily a food wine..had with pizza and ceasar salad. Didin't pair well, but that didn't matter. A fine wine on its own.

Dark brick red with translucent edges. Nice nose of dried herbs and red fruit. Palate somewhat thin and simple, yet smooth and easy to drink. Faded.
