Tasting Notes | ||||
---|---|---|---|---|
This is a gorgeous blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Syrah, Sangiovese, Petit Verdot and Alicante. The 2013 Caiarossa struts its stuff with a soft, velvety mouthfeel and beautiful aromatic intensity. This vintage is complete and generous on all fronts. The bouquet opens slowly and seductively with dark fruit and dried cherry. Those primary aromas segue to spice, smoked cedar and bitter chocolate. You don't get a clear sense of any one variety, but this blend of seven grapes offers power, structure, intensity and textural richness nonetheless.

Vanilla, toast and coffee aromas wrap the core of ripe black cherry and blueberry flavors. Hints of tar and iron keep this squarely in the Old World. Merlot blend. Best from 2021 through 2033. Score: 94 Bruce Sanderson, Wine Spectator Maturity: 2021-2033 25 October 2017 |

A rich and powerful red with plenty of fruit and chewy tannins. Full body, extremely rich and flavorful. Polished and velvety tannins. A blend of merlot, cabernet franc, cabernet sauvignon, syrah, sangiovese, petit verdot and alicante. Drink or hold. Better in 2020. Score: 95 James Suckling, JamesSuckling.com Maturity: 2020+ 28 August 2017 |
