2012 Tenuta di Arceno ‘Valadorna’ Toscana IGT

WA94 The 2012 Valadorna is 70% Merlot, 20% Cabernet Franc and 10% Cabernet Sauvignon from the Castelnuovo Berardenga comune. This is a dark and impenetrable wine with thick concentration and ripe fruit flavors. The two Cabernet grapes come out on top, and the wine delivers a heavy load of ripe fruit, garden herb and rosemary. This a ripe, bold and super opulent red wine from Tuscany that could pair with savory roasted lamb with mint sauce.
JS93 Aromas of almonds and dark berry and chocolate follow through to a berry and chocolate character. There’s plenty of walnut too. Soft and velvety texture. Voluptuous. Drink now or hold.
