89 Points | International Wine Cellar , September/October 2010
($20; a 70/30 blend of cabernet sauvignon and sangiovese; 14 % alcohol) Bright ruby-red. Deep aromas of blackberry, cassis, black pepper and graphite. Vivid red and dark berry flavors are almost fruit cocktail-like, gaining further sweetness and depth with air. Floral notes dominate the firmly tannic finish, which is smooth, clean and long. An impressive showing for San Guido's "basic" red wine: with a little more complexity, this would have merited an outstanding score.
