The 2015 Madre hits it out of the ballpark. This blend of equal parts Sangiovese and Cabernet Sauvignon has benefitted in a particularly positive manner from the heat and warm sunshine of this vintage. The wine offers fleshy richness and fiber that stems directly from the fruit. In other words, it does not feel constructed by oak or over extraction. Instead, this wine appears naturally full-bodied and voluptuous with black fruit favors, black currant and lots of spicy cured tobacco. This is a terrific Tuscan red.
