This ruby red wine starts with aromas of a floral bouquet and ripe berries. The texture is well balanced with flavors of berry preserves, coffee, and orange blossom. Silky tannin and forward acid leads to a complex finish.

2013 Frescobaldi, Gorgona

This is one of the most intriguing wines I’ve tasted in 2016. Golden rich color showing aromas of pear and golden delicious apple. The luxurious, full bodied texture leads to flavors of pear, kiwi, citrus and limestone finishing long and elegant. This is a wine worthy of the price tag and a spot in your cellar.

 

SRP: $125
