Somm Note

Winemaker Notes

Ripe aromas of blackberry and maraschino cherry. Vanilla accents, dark chocolate, aromatic herbs, layered complexity and a lingering finish.

Professional Ratings

  • 94
    Ripe and concentrated, this is also vibrant and expressive, with black cherry, black currant and cassis flavors shaded by wild rosemary, juniper and cedar accents. Firm tannins grace the finish and should soften in a year or two. Long, saturated aftertaste. Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon and Petit Verdot. Best from 2021 through 2035.
  • 92
    Aromas of plums and sweet tobacco with a hint of sandalwood follow through to a medium to full body, round, velvety tannins and a savory finish. Needs time to come together. A little jammy now, but should calm down with age.

One of the world’s most classic and popular styles of red wine, Bordeaux-inspired blends have spread from their homeland in France to nearly every corner of the New World. Typically based on either Cabernet Sauvignon or Merlot and supported by Cabernet Franc, Malbec and Petit Verdot, the best of these are densely hued, fragrant, full of fruit and boast a structure that begs for cellar time. Somm Secret—Blends from Bordeaux are generally earthier compared to those from the New World, which tend to be fruit-dominant.

An outstanding wine region made famous by Marchese Mario Incisa della Rocchetta, who planted Cabernet Sauvignon vines for his own consumption in 1940s on his San Guido estate, and called the resulting wine, Sassicaia. Today the region’s Tuscan reds are based on Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, which can be made as single varietal wines or blends. The local Sangiovese can make up no more than 50% of the blends. Today Sassicaia has its own DOC designation within the Bogheri DOC appellation.
