Varietal: 100% Caberlot

Tasting notes:  "The 2006 Carnasciale is insanely beautiful in this vintage. The bouquet alone is extraordinary. Scents of tar, smoke, grilled herbs, French oak and coffee beans seamlessly meld into an expressive core of perfumed dark fruit. This opulent wine possesses exceptional balance and poise, with persistent notes of minerality that provide balance and proportion. Though not inexpensive by any means, the 2006 Carnasciale offers outstanding relative value. Fans of Il Carnasciale won’t want to miss this beauty. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2021."
