WINEMAKER'S NOTES:
Typically floral, Lemartine is opulent, intense, and fleshy this wine is loaded with cassis, blackberry compote, blueberry jam and perfumed with candied violets. Delicious with hard cheeses, but simply sublime with a fine cigar or a great book.
Blend: 70% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Sangiovese
TASTING NOTES:
Rich, boasting cherry, raspberry, wild rosemary, mineral and spice flavors, this red is also smooth and succulent. Firm tannins grip the finish, yet this finds a nice equilibrium as it winds down on the long aftertaste. Sangiovese. Best from 2026 through 2042.
- Wine Spectator, 94 pts.
Fresh blackcurrant and spearmint with some mint on the nose. Medium body, firm tannins and a savory and fruity finish. Give it a few years to soften. Sangiovese and cabernet sauvignon. Drink in 2023 and beyond.
