Ripe, snappy, alert and forward, with aromas of toast and dried cherries. If you like a bit more red fruit than black in your Brunello, give this a shot. Cranberry, cherry and red plum flavors dominate, while the finish is crisp, with hints of pepper and spice. Lively but not terribly deep. Imported by Vias Imports.——M.S.(7/1/2005)—— 90
