A wine discovery from the same area where Ornellaia comes from in Maremma, Italy. The 2015 Prile is a blend of organically grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot. The 2015 is also one of the finer wines I have tasted from Volpaia's Prelius estate. Dark and beautifully resonant on the palate, the 2015 opens up nicely with a bit of time in the glass, revealing hints of black cherry, chocolate, licorice and espresso. Decant for 1 hour. Drink it over the next decade.

Tasting Notes:

Color: Intense red ruby with purplish highlights.

Perfume: Intense fruity hits of plump, black cherries and wild blackberry jam. These perfumes are well mixed with sweet spices, aromas, and balsamic nuances.

Flavor: Juicy and powerful mouth with a thick texture and lush aftertaste, long and persistent.

With its full, oaky nose and essence-like, sweet fruit, this warm and generous red has plenty of healthy tannins but finishes slightly sweet. With slightly less ripeness this would rate even higher. Drink now.
 

A blend of organically grown Cabernet Sauvignon, Sangiovese and Merlot, this offers dark berry, toasted oak and mocha aromas. The dense palate delivers blackberry jam, espresso and clove alongside firm tannins. Drink through 2024. Kerin O’Keefe
