Recanati Special Reserve 2016

92% Cabernet Sauvignon, 8% Merlot. This exceptional red, matured 18 months in new French oak, is produced from a selection of the harvest's finest quality Cabernet Sauvignon grapes. A percentage of top Merlot grapes contributes further complexity. Captivating aromas of black fruit, sage, chocolate, eucalyptus and clove build into an opulent palate of ripe berries, spice and lush, velvety tannins.

Deep ruby in color, this wine has a bouquet of cherry and sage. A network of strong tannins and equally weighted acidity provides structure for flavors of blackberry, cassis, toffee and lemon sorbet. The rich, satisfying finish is punctuated by a surprisingly bright finale.
