If you are a fan of Bordeaux blends, you need to try this wine from the Dolomites in Italy. The San Leonardo 2018 vintage is a blend of 60% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Carmenère, and 10% Merlot aged for 24 months in a combination of new and refill French oak barrels. This big, bold wine can be drunk now with decanting, and is especially friendly with red meats. Alternatively, it can be forgotten about in your cellar for another decade or more.

Robert Parker Tasting Note (2015 Vintage)
"The 2015 San Leonardo pours forth with a beautiful velvety appearance and sultry dark garnet color. This wine shows a lot of life and dark fruit purity with black plum, blackberry, cassis and tarry prune. There is a delightful note of black pepper that is specific to this warm and sunny vintage. The fruit shows softer and richer concentration compared to past vintages and more pulpy density that gives this edition a bigger profile in terms of mouthfeel. Production is 75,000 bottles. San Leonardo is a wine made for long aging, but the nice thing about this vintage is that the bouquet remains quite accessible at this young age. Nevertheless, I'd still suggest keeping this bottle in your cellar so that it can calmly finish its evolution." 97+ points
