This is very complex and layered on the nose, delivering coffee, dried fruits and flowers. the full body follows through to fine tannins and a long, caressing finish. Well-integrated, with a silky texture. A fabulous new wine from this producer. Best after 2013. 585 cases made, 100 cases imported.??–JS??Region: Italy / Bolgheri Select to Add

Baia al Vento (windy bay) is a mostly Merlot-based wine (with tiny percentages of Cabernet Franc and Petit Verdot) with big, ripe, chewy fruit at its core. The aromas include sweet cherry, jammy blackberry and cured meat. ——M.L.(12/15/2010)—— 89
