Cecchetto Raboso Piave 2015
Brilliant, deep ruby color. The aromatics are very intense offering scents of black cherry and blackberry with supporting notes of black tea, violet, leather, and subtle hints of vanilla. The palate echoes the nose delivering a black fruit-driven core with flavors of black fruits and tart cherry. The finish is long and lingering with supple tannins. Medium to full-bodied and perfectly balanced with a rich but vibrant texture. Made with 100% Raboso Piave. $19 – 4.5 Stars – 94 points

The nose is moderately intense offering scents of red cherry and hibiscus flower with supporting notes of wild strawberries and blood orange. The palate echoes the nose delivering a red fruit-driven core with flavors of crushed red fruits and mineral. The finish lingers with soft/supple tannins. Medium-bodied and perfectly balanced with a slight bit of fizz and just enough sweetness (balanced by tart fruit) to add body and texture. $15 – 4.5 Stars – 94 points
