Item Description
This 2017 Austin Hope Cabernet Sauvignon is dark garnet in color, with aromas of freshly picked blueberries, ripe black cherries, with subtle notes of roasted coffee, cocoa and dried spices. On the palate, the luscious supple tannins are powerful yet modern in style with layered flavors of juicy blackberry and red fruit, while nuances of black pepper, clove and vanilla bean round out the long smooth finish.
2016 La Ca'Nova Montefico is from another of Barbarescos top crus, Montefico, from a parcel called Bric Mentina. Here the vines are 30 years old and the vineyard has southern and south-eastern exposures. The earth shows a little more in this bottling but the nuanced fruit is still very much present.
The 2015 Chianti Classico Riserva Sangiovese is intense ruby red with violet nuances. A complex nose with sour cherry, ripe blackberry, and cassis with undertones of cinnamon, nutmeg, and freshly ground pepper. On the palate, soft and fresh, with the alcohol rounding out the harshness of the tannins. Will age well for more than ten years. Blend: 90% Sangiovese, 5% Merlot, 5% Syrah. Wine Spectator - 95 points
