Rather broad and a bit matte in the mouth, this delivers some rich black raspberry and boysenberry flavors in the mouth over a firm base of well-concealed oak along with nice violet and mineral accents. Dry and... Read More

Snooth has two different wineries listed: Luca and Da Luca. I don't have a bottle at hand to try to settle the dispute. Does anyone know which is correct? Luca or Da Luca?
