A blend of 50% Merlot, 40% Cabernet Sauvignon and 10% Cabernet Franc, the 2011 Bolgheri Superiore Argentiera peels back with luscious layers of dark spice, plum and black cherry. Toasted oak notes also play a prominent role on the bouquet and the wine needs more time to fully integrate. The 2011 vintage shows soft, sun-ripened tannins.
