The 'Il Pino' is a complete success in this difficult growing season. This blend of Cabernet Franc, Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Petit Verdot opens to attractive aromas of blackberries and cassis along with smoldering ash, tobacco, tar, herbs and violets all taking shape in the glass. On the palate this ample red possesses a gorgeous velvety texture and a lovely mouthfeel as it expands through the finish. Although this is already impressive, it should become even more compelling with just another year or two of bottle age. (Best 2019-2028) - March, 2017 (JD)
