This very focused and fresh with currants and hints of vanilla and lavender. Medium body. Fine tannins. 90% cabernet sauvignon and 10% cabernet franc. Drink now.

This barrique-aged Cabernet Sauvignon from the high-potential Castel del Monte DOC is both rich and fresh, with menthol and herbs combining with black fruits and spice. In the mouth it has a lovely line of cleansing acidity giving energy to Puglia's chocolatey, almost-jammy red and black fruit signature. Balanced and drinkable but with the structure to age, this is an impressive red.

Savory tobacco, leather, tomato leaf and tarry smoke notes accent the cassis, plum cake and red licorice flavors on display in this lively, medium-bodied red, backed by chewy tannins. Drink now through 2029. 800 cases imported.
