Product Description
Rosemary, sage and underbrush on the attack. Tight, extremely spicy, this feels full of freshly cut herbs with touches of earth. A cold start to the season meant late budding then a hot season later, giving an opulence in the final glass. This is bottled a year earlier than the others two reds, and is a little more open. Blending takes place after ageing, with ageing in a mix of oak barrels and cement.

James SucklingA firm and silky wine with bark, berry, chocolate and light coffee aromas and flavors. Medium body. Creamy textured finish. Merlot with cabernet sauvignon and some montepulciano. Drinkable and fresh.

Wine EnthusiastThe nose blends rich fruit notes of cherry, pomegranate, blood orange and raspberry with a woody, earthy, slightly herbal savoriness. The cherries and blood orange star on the palate, with the savory elements continuing to make themselves known before a closing kick of chili heat. Vibrant acidity bounces around chalky tannins.
Tuscan blends, notably the Super Tuscan, represent wines from Italy's Tuscany region, featuring innovative combinations of grape varieties. These blends, often including Sangiovese with international grapes like Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, defy traditional regulations, resulting in rich and full-bodied wines. Reflecting the region's diverse terroir, Tuscan blends harmoniously balance fruit, acidity, and tannins, making them both versatile and appealing to wine enthusiasts.
