This complements the winery’s “Rosso” and “Red” blends; it’s the Bordeaux blend in the trio. The color is a bit murky, and the flavors, though pleasant enough, have a certain murkiness also, mixing earth, toast, hazelnut, some indistinct red fruits and a finishing lick of raspberry preserves. It’s a good, all-purpose quaffing wine, but doesn’t quite conjure up Bordeaux. ——P.G.(6/1/2006)—— 87
