Made in collaboration with Beringer’s Ed Sbragia, this super Tuscan blend of Merlot (75%), Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon is loaded with smoky tones of oak, leather, spice and chocolate fudge. The fruit is in there (behind the wood) and is redolent of blackberry and dried currant.——M.L.(5/1/2009)—— 90
