The savory and youthful 2013 Argiano BDM displays an attractive ruby/garnet, Bing cherry appearance, as the color is backed up by perfumed aromatics and flavors of all types of red berries and cherries.

It is nicely balanced and well structured with juicy acidity, and supporting, light dusty tannins at the long, lip smacking finish. Overall, very Pinot Noir-ish. The combination of aging in barrique and large oak barrels creates an interesting complexity and texture not typically found in other BDMs. Great stuff!! — 11 days ago

Good! Hefty! Some cinnamon/nutmeg up front upon opening, mellows a bit later. Tasty! — 6 months ago

Pale ruby in color with some sediment; on the nose, it's clean with pronounced primary and secondary aromas of cherries, dried herbs, and balsamic; on the palate, it's dry with high acidity, high tannins, high alcohol, full body, and pronounced primary and secondary flavors of tart cherries, red currants, and wet slate with a long finish. This wine is intense, complex, and with balanced fruit to match the acidity and tannins. Overall, I rate this wine as outstanding. — a month ago

Decided to break open this Brunello tonight, after having a 2015 Argiano last night. This one is super rich with dark cherry, chocolate, and spice aromas. On the bud, the cherry notes continue to come out with cedar/oak notes and subtle spice notes. It velvety smooth with mild tannins and a nice long finish. Great with our steak and kale salad. Looking forward to tasting it with our chocolates later. This one is by far the winner of the two wines. I still have 6 more bottles in the cellar and can’t wait to see how it continues to evolve. — 2 years ago

The 2020 Non Confunditur (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese) wafts up with wild blueberries, sage and violet pastille. It’s silky-smooth with ripe, southern Montalcino red and blue fruits. Sweet spice mingles with black raspberry and minerals throughout the long, lightly structured finale. $23.00 (Eric Guido, Vinous, December 2022) — 3 years ago
