An appealing balance of power and elegance in a medium-bodied style. Includes fruit from Clerico's higher-end cru vineyards, Pajana, Ciabot Mentin and Percristina. 16 months in barrique adds notes of baking spice to bright tones of cranberry and red cherry. Classic hints of orange zest, rose petal, Italian herbs, bay and cedar. Enjoyable now, but will shine over the next several years.
