The 2013 Bolgheri Rosso does a great job of presenting this balanced vintage. The wine shows an impressive level of equilibrium and intensity with tonic fruit flavors that are tight and focused. It does not have the jammy overtones present in some of the other wines from 2013. In fact, the fruit element is full of freshness, crispness and linearity. Plump cherry is the protagonist but the wine also offers integrated tones of spice, leather and tobacco. This is a delicious blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Cabernet Franc, Merlot and Sangiovese.
Cabernet-based blend. Sweet but flattering and not at all industrial. Very lively and spreads across the palate. Definitely Tuscan but with a ubiquitous grape. (JR)
