Robert Parker (93)

A 50-50 blend of Merlot and Sangiovese, the 2012 Siepi is a beautiful wine that bursts open with enormous fruit intensity and purity. Siepi is a unique wine that is characterized by a deep sense of sharpness and focus that brings a very bright quality to the bouquet. This vintage represents the 20th anniversary of this wine (the first vintage produced was 1992) although this special single-vineyard has been in family hands since 1435 (you read that correctly). Older Merlot vines were replanted three years ago.

Features flavors of black currant, blackberry and a hefty dose of vanilla and toast. The oak adds a layer of tannins to an already firm wine. Flamboyant, fresh and long, but needs time to absorb the tannins. Sangiovese and Merlot.
