This impressive vineyard designate Brunello delivers buoyant tones of cherry cola, mesquite and balsam notes. There’s a direct and immediate nature to the aromas, followed by bright acidity and silky tannins that leave a lasting impression. This is a very beautiful wine that would pair with meats and oven-roasted pasta dishes. ——M.L.(10/1/2010)—— 93

Here’s a vineyard-select Brunello with a thick, grainy texture and persistent aromas of blackberry, ripe cherry, bee’s wax and mineral nuances. The wine has power and concentration and would pair well with lamb or roasted pork.——M.L.(5/1/2009)—— 89
