A meld of cab franc, cab, corvina, corvinone, rondinella and a seasoning of the tannic oseleta. A small portion gently dried. A mid-weighted expression boasting vibrancy, an effusive everyday drinkability and a resounding sense of savoriness, given the varietal makeup. Blackcurrant, mint, sage and lilac, with bouquet garni doused across a long meander of gentle tannin. Lift, sap and thrust, but most of all, sheer joy! One glass is not enough. Drink or hold. - James Suckling
