Wine Spectator: 90 Focused, streamlined wine, with raspberry, cassis, violet and mineral flavors. Long finish. Remarkably racy, considering the dense, ripe fruit, so this should flesh out. Cabernet Sauvignon, Malbec and Merlot. Drink now through 2005. 3,645 cases made. (JM)

This 80% Garganega, 15% Chardonnay, 5% Trebbiano blend has a wonderful delicate flowery bouquet with a hint of apricot. Straw yellow in color with greenish highlights. Full and rich to the palate with nuances of honeydew melon and golden apple, complemented by an elegant lingering finish. Excellent with grilled radicchio or fennel, grilled sole and flounder.
