This impressive, full bodied red wine has great depth and a surprisingly soft mouthfeel for such concentrated fruit. Aroma: The wine swirls with aromas that include black cherry, earth and the classic Monte Rosso spice. Mouth Feel: On the palate, it offers red and dark fruit flavors including raspberry and blackberry, plus black fig and hints of dusty chocolate and espresso. Aging in French and American Oak created assertive-but-smooth tannins that melt seamlessly into a lingering, elegant finish filled with flavors of anise, toasted oak and vanilla.
