2018 Tenuta Le Colonne Bolgheri Rosso Superiore
With a Cab Franc base this Bolgheri Superiore lends itself to a bit more earth and herb than you’ll find in the more Cab Sauv dominant wines of this territory. Ripe black fruits, blackberry, cherry and subtle vanilla. Mediterranean herbs, soil and sea mist. Full bodied, persistent and complex.
Wine Spectator
A powerful style, yet open too, boasting black cherry, blackberry, cedar, iron and tobacco flavors. Dense, but turns more refined on the finish. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2022 through 2030.
James Suckling
A very fine and crunchy red with currant, fresh-herb and spice aromas and flavors. Medium to full body, polished tannins and a bright finish. Tighter at the end. 70% cabernet sauvignon and 30% cabernet franc. Give it two or three years to open.
