The 2009 Frappato possesses gorgeous inner sweetness, superb textural elegance and fabulous overall balance. Sweet red cherries, flowers and mint linger on the high-toned finish. This is a pretty serious Frappato that stands apart from the vast majority of other versions for its density and richness. The Frappato was aged in equal parts cement and amphorae. Anticipated maturity: 2011-2015. This is quite possibly the finest set of wines I have ever tasted from COS. Readers owe it to themselves to check out these ambitious wines, many of which also deliver phenomenal value. Importer: Domaine Select, New York, NY; tel. (212) 279-0799
