The estate’s 2004 Il Pareto is 100% Cabernet Sauvignon aged in French oak. An attractive core of sweet dark blueberries, blackberries and wild herbs lurks beneath a virtually impenetrable veneer of oak. The wine comes across as heavy handed, with tannins that remain unyielding and dry on the finish. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2019.
