Overview

Bruce Schoenfeld: The cool vintage created a unique but far from unappealing menthol nose that wouldn’t be out of place in the Barossa. In general, this ’99 shows more super than Tuscan. The Cabernet Sauvignon—15% here—pokes through the Sangiovese to create a chewy, spicy, tasty wine that might be a restrained Napa Cabernet, a Spottswoode or a Heitz, or even a Cullen or Vasse Felix from Margaret River. 17.5
