A rich, seductive, spectacularly layered Amarone with aromas of black cherry liqueur, dark spice, smoke and toasted nuts. This is a inexpensive Amarone, especially for this quality. Pair with prime rib.

Reviews and Ratings

Jon Steeves - Sommelier rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

My sweet spot includes Amarone... yes I have a bias, based on a decade of focused wine tasting experience, and I’ve learned to deeply appreciate this style. The 2012 vintage of this Amarone offers good value, approachability, at an accessible price point. Well balanced, medium-plus depth of concentration and body. Ripe red berry, fig, savoury and so yummy. Declared 16% ABV. Paired well with loaded Tex Mex chicken fajitas. Tasted 2012 vintage in Feb 2018. 92 points

Natalie MacLean is a new force in the wine writing world ‐ a feisty North American answer to Hugh Johnson and Jancis Robinson. She can write beautifully about wine.

There are very few people in the wine world who "get it" and Natalie is one of those who brings more fun to a buttoned-up and stodgy game.
