Recanati Cabernet Sauvignon 2023

This is a polished wine with layers of fruit. Freshly-crushed red cherry and black currant aromas wrap around black olive and black raspberry on the nose that is dusted by clippings of dried field grass. The palate leads with black fruit bolstered by a thin herbal underlayer that flatters.

Up-front black currant and earthy tar notes are framed by firming tannins in this medium-bodied red. Smoky, singed garrigue and graphite shavings course along the cool stone minerality throughout. Drink now. 19,583 cases made, 2,799 cases imported.
