Concentrated aromas of blackberry and blueberry laced with anise, vanilla, clove and dried wildflowers waft from the glass. The refined palate gives more baked plum notes with generous amounts of sweet and savory spices followed by fine tannins, making it a perfect complement to your next barbecue. Drink now–2035.

Brown spice, crushed fall leaves cherry sauce and a lifting hint of fresh mint form a darkly alluring bouquet as the 2015 Montefalco Sagrantino Memoira opens in the glass. This washes across the palate with a velvety wave of ripe red and black fruits, underscored by saline minerals and a burst of spiced citrus. Long and potent, the 2015 leaves a web of fine tannins that are surprisingly sweet and round, nicely framing the notes of sour wild berries and dark chocolate that linger.

Steeped raspberry, singed orange peel, black tea leaf and dark chocolate notes are bright and appealing in this silky red, which is tightly meshed with sculpted tannins and a spicy, mineral-driven underpinning, ending with a chewy finish. Drink now through 2035. 7,500 cases made, 750 cases imported.

This is earthy and spiced with notes of dried red berries, hints of walnuts and bark. Medium- to full-bodied, structured and tight with chewy tannins and succulent red fruit underneath. Chalky and dry finish. Drink or hold.
