The 2023 Il Bruciato boasts a dark purple hue and exudes baked aromas of plum, pie spice, balsamic, and rich earth. Full-bodied, the palate is generous and rounded, with supple ripe tannins providing a fleshy sensation through the finish. I would prefer to enjoy this while it retains some freshness over the near term. This vintage is a blend of 37% Cabernet Sauvignon, 28% Cabernet Franc, 19% Merlot, and the remainder Syrah and Petit Verdot.
 
Winemaker Notes
Il Bruciato 2023 is an intense ruby red color. The nose opens with sweet, captivating aromas of small ripe red fruit and plums that lead over to delicate spicy notes. The palate is full bodied yet at the same time delicate, powerful and refined. A wine that is extremely easy to drink defined by supple and well-concentrated tannins that impart dimension, persistence and balance.
