12' Brancaia IIatraia Cabernet blend. Hands down the BEST value Cabernet blend(Cabernet , CF, PV) I've had in the last 12 months. It's drinking like a wine at twice the price point! Highly recommend! Tried this in a tasting room in Italy. Wish I had purchased more😕. Pop & pour wine.
Edit- Reviews have it between 93-95 pts.

2012. Excellent Cabernet-based Super Tuscan, drinking perfectly now (in store bin for 3-4 years!). Starts out with reticent black and blue fruits (and pomegranate?) with a strong undercurrent of iron/minerals. After three hours the tannins smooth out to reveal just the right balance of fruit, leather, tar and earth. Rich and complex, tastes like a high-quality Bordeaux by later evening. One of the best wines I’ve had all year and a steal at $45 at JW.
