Petra
Tuscany
2006 Ebo Val di Corina DOC Suvereto
Varietals: Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Merlot
Alcohol: 14.0%
Reviews: “The 2006 Ebo (Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese, Merlot) is a big, fat wine loaded with dark fruit, grilled herbs, tar and smoke, all of which are framed by underlying notes of minerality. The finish is long, clean and harmonious. This is a gorgeous wine, particularly for the money. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2014.
Petra is based in Suvereto, one of the warmer microclimates in Tuscany’s Maremma. In 2006, the region enjoyed a spectacular vintage, as is evident in these fine new releases. The Merlot Quercegobbe in particular is a gem.” - 90 pts, Wine Advocate
“Currant jam on the nose, with fresh herbs and flowers. Full-bodied, with very silky taninns and a flavorful finish. A little tight now and not showing that much, but very rich on the palate. Needs a little time. Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot. Best after 2011. 10,000 cases made. –JS” 90 pts, Wine Advocate
$34.00 per bottle
