The 2019 Brunello Di Montalcino pours a ruby/garnet color and leaps from the glass with lots of purity and personality, revealing notes of wild cherries, pine needles, Mediterranean herbs, and crushed roses. Medium-bodied, it's snappy with fine tannins, crunchy acidity, and a mouthwatering mineral finish. It's zesty and inviting, with refreshing lift and a cooling sensibility, and although it's light on its feet, it's highly expressive. Very well done. Drink 2024-2034.

Fresh and lively, this light-bodied red offers flavors of cherry, strawberry, earth and herbs, with crisp tannins emerging on the finish. This is approachable now but should improve with a few more years of age. Drink now through 2038. 13,046 cases made, 1,050 cases imported.

The 2019 Brunello di Montalcino opens with a mentholated freshness, blending savory herbs with wild strawberries and camphor hints. It's softly textured and supple in feel, more lifted than expected. Crisp red berry fruits cascade throughout and are supported by brisk acidity. This finishes tannic and long, leaving a bitter tinge to linger as hints of licorice fade. I find myself craving a little more flesh on the bone. That said, with maturity should also come more fat that should help to balance the 2019.
