62% Sangiovese and 38% Cabernet Sauvignon Super Tuscan Blend Ageability: Now through 2030 (Optimal Maturity 2026)
This Super Tuscan style blend, comprised of 62% Sangiovese and 38% Cabernet Sauvignon, displays gorgeous aromatics of pie cherries, cranberry sauce, and red licorice with savory spice notes. The palate showcases the wine's brisk natural acidity that bursts with secondary flavors of pomegranate, raspberry jam interwoven with complex notes of wet leather and toasted cedar plank. The finish is lush and smooth.
Each varietal was aged separately for 11 months before being blended and aged for an additional 8 months in French oak. Total aging in French oak was 19 months (42% new French oak, 38% 2yr-old French oak, and 20% neutral oak French oak).
