The least expensive, yet the richest of the lineup, the 2010 Trutina is a blend of 63% Merlot, 28% Cabernet Sauvignon, 4% Malbec, 3% Cabernet Franc and 2% Syrah. Loaded with deep, rich aromas and flavors of cassis, crushed flowers, sweet oak and hints of spice box, it flows onto the palate with a rounded, full-bodied mouthfeel, integrated acidity and a lengthy finish. Already delicious, it can be enjoyed now and over the coming 5-7 years. Drink now-2020.
