Tenuta San Leonardo 'San Leonardo' - 2017 (750ml)
50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot, 10% Carmenère. Fermented and then aged 24 months in new, once-, and -twice used French oak barrels.
The Tenuta San Leonardo 2017 San Leonardo (in a heavy glass bottle) shows subtle but unmistakable generosity and exuberance that is absolutely in line with this hot vintage. In this regard, the 2017 stands apart from past vintages from this estate that is celebrated for its elegant, undertone and long-term approach. This wine is slightly more accessible too, with plush, dark fruit, balanced oak spice and perfumed rose over a polished, silky mouthfeel. - Monica Larner
An elegant red that's sleek and fresh, setting ripe red and black currant, green olive and a fragrant thread of cured tobacco and eucalyptus in a well-tailored, medium- to full-bodied frame. Revealing tension and drive, with a taut structure from the fine-grained tannins, this needs time in the glass or decanting to fully express itself. Cabernet Sauvignon, Carmenère and Merlot. Best from 2024 through 2030. 5,900 cases made, 1,300 cases imported.
