Cicchitti blend 2008, an impressive and delicate blend by a quality mind

Cicchitti Blend 2008, Edicion Limitada, By Bodega J.A. Cicchitti SA, USD 15
A blend of even parts of Pinot Noir and Sangiovese with 20% of Merlot from Uco Valley and Lujan de Cuyo vineyards in Mendoza.  Just an impressive wine. Ripe fruits mostly black little cherries and berries round and clear with adicting palate. Delicate and elegant tannins with balancing acidity and alcohol. Very smooth all through the palate, mostly the middle although perfuming all over. Nicely invasive. A 90 points red hard to get by 15 bucks which place the label close to any top list where money counts. Probably on its plateau even it sholud be bright at 4-6 y/o.
