The Wine Independent
byLisa Perrotti-Brownthe5/18/2022
The 2021 Poesia is composed of 70% Merlot and 30% Cabernet Franc, aged in 50-60% new oak. Deep garnet-purple colored, it slowly emerges from the glass with pronounced notes of warm plums, blackberry pie, and garrigue, leading to hints of mossy tree bark, crushed rocks, and wild sage. Medium-bodied, the palate has a solid frame of grainy tannins and well-integrated acidity, supporting the tight-knit black fruits, finishing on a lingering mineral note.
