Winemaker Notes:
This wine is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet France, made from a selection of all the grapes grown in the estate's vineyards.Full-bodied and warm in style, it has distinctly spicy notes accompanied by aromas of ripe red fruit.
Blend: 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, 10% Cabernet Franc
Intense ruby red in color, the nose opens with nuances of cherry and plum and deep notes of black berries, followed by aromatic herbs and a pleasant spiciness. It is elegant and seductive on the palate, revealing considerable body, great structure and balance, and silky tannins.
Pairs well with grilled and barbequed meats - Chianina beef in particular - roasted veal, spare ribs, ossobuco, and lamb or pork shanks. Excellent with smoked ricotta cheese, Parmigiano Reggiano and medium-matured pecorino.
CRITICAL ACCLAIM
RP94, Robert Parker's Wine Advocate
"Made with 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc, this wine sees a combination of steel and wood. The vintage after this ferments and ages in wood only. The 2018 Bolgheri Superiore Sondraia is already quite toasty with vanilla and dark spice behind black cherry and plum. There is a lot of revved up energy in this vintage, and its tannic structure is important. So is the alcohol content that clocks in at 15%. Fruit comes from a 15-hectare site located just above sea level at about 25 meters in elevation. The soils are deep and well-draining with clay and loose sand."
JS94, James Suckling
"Very pretty currant and chocolate aromas with hints of hazelnut and sweet tobacco. Full-bodied with round tannins and a juicy finish. Lots of structure and richness to this. Cabernet sauvignon, merlot and cabernet franc. Needs time to soften. Try after 2024."
JD94, Jeb Dunnuck
"An inky and luxurious wine, the 2018 Sondraia is produced from 65% Cabernet Sauvignon, 25% Merlot, and the remainder Cabernet Franc and reveals dark layers of sweet black currant, polished leather, toasted cedar, and fresh tobacco. It is still ripe with baby fat and is full without being heavy, with a supple and rounded mid-palate followed by a long, warming, and relaxed finish."
