This super Tuscan style blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Sangiovese gives you an introduction to the style with just enough body, complexity, and old school style to get your palate salivating. It's got a sexy nose of raspberry, whipped vanilla, clean oak, and a bit of rust. Though far closer to medium rather than full-bodied, the La Massa has a densely packed core of flavors. Rhubarb, cranberry, raspberry,and sweet tobacco ride on a layer of roughly grained tanins. The juice of the berries kicks in beautifully on the mid-palate like gushing juice from the center of hard candy. The acid still dominates the fruit suggesting this is more of a food pairing wine. The finish is very dry and long. Priced in the teens, the La Massa comes highly recommended.
