From one the best producers in Montalcino comes this intriguing and dense blend of Merlot, Cabernet and Syrah. Winemaker Pablo Harri's elegant touch is evident in this supple, yet powerful wine. The colour is dense and the bouquet intense. Extraordinarily balanced and multidimensional with flavours of ripe black cherries, blackberries, black currants, dark plums, and hints of cocoa. The finish is long and persistent. Wild game and braised meats will marry well. (GB - Tidings, June 2009)
Intriguing aromas of spice, tobacco, and meat with flavours of cherry, cranberry, spice and smoke, firm tannins and a touch of acidity. Lean, but firm with a savoury finish. Try with grilled pork. (GB - Tidings, September 2010)
Ripe and spicy aromas and flavours of blackberries and plums with the characteristic southern Okanagan savouriness. Lovely texture, round and easy to drink. (GB - Tidings, September 2010)
A blend of 46% Zinfandel, 31% Merlot and 23% Cabernet Sauvignon, possessing a wonderful approachability while still expressing the character of each of its component grapes. The Zinfandel really comes through in the aromas of blackberry and raspberry jam with hints of black cherries, currants and spice, while the Merlot provides a soft texture with flavours of plums and cherries, and the Cabernet Sauvignon contributes richness and an underlying structure. The tannins are quite soft, but despite the easy drinkability of this wine, it still maintains nice character and freshness. And, as with any good blend, the wine is quite harmonious and a well-knit sum of its individual parts. An excellent value. (GB - Tidings, September 2011)
A brickhouse. Dark, structured, still very closed, but starting to show its phenomenal pedigree. Aromas and flavours of currants, wildberries and tar with a huge body, big and tight mid-palate, firm tannins and a long, berry, vanilla aftertaste. Needs a little more time to really express itself. Another amazing wine from Silvia Imparato. (GB - Tidings, May 2011)
Ripe, rich and dark with black currant, blackberries, black cherries and plums, hints of chocolate and pepper with a lovely fresh acidity. Quite well structured with a lengthy rich finish. A nice match with the natural sweetness of wild game. (GB - Tidings, March 2010)
A fun and fresh, slightly sparkly blend of Pinot Noir and Merlot showing lovely juicy raspberry, cherry, and strawberry flavours, and a lovely refreshing acidity. (GB - Tidings, June 2010)
