Heather Wall rated this wine as 92/100 with the following review:

Brilliant ruby colour with lovely floral and perfume up front on the nose. Cherry and baked cherry tarts, cassis, leather and dried herbs follow. The palate is clean and tannins are polishing with flavours dark fruit, vanilla, chocolate and violets. A long mocha and plum finish. Acidity is medium+ and balances all the nuances in this wine nicely. Thoroughly enjoyed! Perfect BBQ wine. Great hostess gift. Enjoy over the next 3-5 years.
Tasted: April 2015

Matt Steeves rated this wine as 91/100 with the following review:

A beautiful blend of rustic Sangiovese and fresh and herbal Cabernet Sauvignon. Dark berries, smoke, leather and herbs. Dry with nice smokey fruit, well integrated tannins, and a long finish. 91+ points. Tasted March 2015. Matt Steeves - www.quercusvino.ca

Natalie's Review

Umberto Cesari Liano Sangiovese Cabernet Sauvignon 2011, Rubicone, Emilia-Romagna I.G.T, Italy: Mocha and dark chocolate on the nose gives way to fleshy black plums on the palate of this Italian red wine. Full-bodied and smooth and delicious. This wine previously won a Gold Medal at the Sélections Mondiales des Vins in Montreal. Try with hamburgers and all the fixins. Drink: 2013-2018. 225086 13.50% D 750 mL $27.95 Score: 92/100. April 18, 2015 Top Rated Red Wine. Heavenly Hamburger Wine Full Review
