Bordeaux Red Blends from Bolgheri, Tuscany, Italy

Winemaker Notes

Guado al Tasso 2019 is an intense ruby red color. On the nose it’s rich and alluring with notes of tobacco, licorice, plums and balsamic sensations that are accompanied by light, elegant aromas of toasted coffee. On the palate it’s characterized by aromatic precision and purity, persistent and savory. Tannins are of outstanding quality ,very pleasant midpalate and finish. 2019 is a vintage that has great aging potential.

James Suckling – 98 Points

This has a wild and perfumed nose of dried thyme, sage, blackberries, cocoa, graphite and white and green peppercorns. Then dried flowers. Full-bodied with firm, tight and precise tannins. Vibrant. There’s so much character and structure. A new benchmark for this winery. More cabernet franc than in the past. Best yet? 65% cabernet sauvignon, 25% cabernet franc and 10% merlot. Try from 2025.

Food Pairing 

Pairs well with  filet mignon, prime rib, rack of lamb, or a gourmet burger.
