This is a sophisticated and powerful rendition of Ripasso that offers big intensity and a blast of heat on the close. There are aromas of mature cherry, Indian spice, cinnamon and dark chocolate and the mouthfeel is rich and chewy. ——M.L.(2/1/2011)—— 88

Pressed flowers, cherry cola, mesquite wood and cinnamon all converge on the nose of this pretty, ruby-colored ripasso. The wine is hot, thick and round with lingering tones of crushed black pepper and spice.——M.L.(10/1/2009)—— 89
