title: Castello del Terriccio 2009 Tassinaia Red (Toscana)
description: A 50-50 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot, this offers aromas of underbrush, cedar, bluish-black fruit, spice and a whiff of scorched earth. On the palate, notes of licorice, tobacco, grilled herbs and menthol accent black currant and dried black cherry. Bracing, raspy tannins provide the framework.
