BUY THE WINE

Bruce Schoenfeld: With its glossy rim, deep red color, and a nose like a barrel sample, this is reminiscent of a top Washington Cabernet. It is bright, viscous, full (but not heavy), and seamless. There’s 20% Sangiovese here somewhere, evidently, but I can’t find it—and don’t miss it, either. A hugely enjoyable, internationally styled wine. 18
