Nick's Pick!
Well balanced and smooth, with pronounced and bold acidity gives way to subtle earth and leather components and finishes with rather well integrated oak. Quite a nice accompaniement to roasted or grilled, meat dishes with rich, savory sauces.

An aromatic red, with cedar, dried flowers, sandalwood and red fruits on the nose. Full-bodied, with slightly chewy tannins and a tangy finish that shows prune and wood undertones. A little hollow midpalate. Needs drinking. Mostly Sangiovese. Drink now. 6,250 cases made. ûJS OCT 2009 Issue
