2020 vintage. Another great effort from the Lorenzetti family and estate manager Vincent Bache- Gabrielsen. A blend of 59% Merlot, 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 3% Petit Verdot and 1% Cabernet Franc. More refined than many in this appellation, this is already extremely drinkable with juicy fruit, ripe tannin and good mineral length. Terrific value too,a sleeper of the vintage. Abv. 13,5 %.

Really nice. Red berries, fall leaves, pencil. Soft body and really well balanced.

Nice structure provided by Cabernet in the blend. Smooth Tannins and ready to drink now. January 2024.

3.4. Dark purple Bordeaux, complex fruit at first, smooth at the end. Could probably use a few more years to age. On sale for $23.99. The 2018 was highly rated.

A lot to commend about this wine in accord with the other posters. It’s lovely and impressive, but somewhat lacking in character. Works well with grilled meat.
