Note di degustazione
The 2006 Petra (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot) offers up an array of dark plums, blackberries, spices, minerals and French oak in a style that manages to achieve notable concentration while remaining light on its feet. The opulence of the fruit balances the wine's firm tannins all the way to the long finish. The wine can be enjoyed today, but readers who prefer additional layers of tertiary complexity will want to cellar this for at least 2-3 years.

The 2006 Petra (Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot) offers up an array of dark plums, blackberries, spices, minerals and French oak in a style that manages to achieve notable concentration while remaining light on its feet. The opulence of the fruit balances the wine’s firm tannins all the way to the long finish. The wine can be enjoyed today, but readers who prefer additional layers of tertiary complexity will want to cellar this for at least 2-3 years. Anticipated maturity: 2009-2021. Petra is based in Suvereto, one of the warmer microclimates in Tuscany’s Maremma. In 2006, the region enjoyed a spectacular vintage, as is evident in these fine new releases. The Merlot Quercegobbe in particular is a gem. Importer: Blavod Extreme, Franklin, TN; tel. (615) 771-9111
