($23; mainly sangiovese, with small amounts of merlot, cabernet sauvignon and syrah) Medium saturated ruby. Exaggerated nose shows almost liqueur-like raspberry and black cherry aromas, along with cinnamon and musky roasted coffee highlights. More overripe cherry flavor on the palate, complicated by a whiff of smoke and grilled bacon. The rich chocolate and coffee finishing flavors display only medium length. A pleasant wine with features more typical of the 2003 vintage.

A 3.5 Star Light Table Wine

This 2004 "Super Tuscan" opens with a floral nose leading to a soft palate as described by D'Agata above. It is lighter bodied with less character than most Italian Regional Reds culminating with mildly dusty tannins on the medium length finish. Serve confidently as a sophisticated aperitif and with lighter Italian Cuisine. Recommended within its limitations.
