A full-bodied, mouth-watering red with aromas of dark red fruit, smoke and dried herbs. Firm tannins. Decant 2 hours. Will cellar well. Pair with game dishes.

Reviews and Ratings

Monique Sosa - Accredited Sommelier rated this wine as 89/100 with the following review:

Worthy holiday red right here! Aromas show mild cranberry, candied cherry, earthy underbrush, and spice notes. The plate shows high grippy tannins, a balanced acidity, and lovely concentrated fruit. The finish is long and minty. Enjoy pairing with braised beef and polenta. Tasted Dec 2016 - @sommsosa | bespoketastings.ca
This 2011 Brunello di Montalcino is sweet cherries, plushy plum, sweet spice and citrus peel. Drinking great now and for the next 10 years. - Community Wine Reviews
