Wine Enthusiast's Dream

Enjoy this hand selected case of wine sure to please the wine lover in your house. 2006 Brunello di Montalcino is rated 93 and described by Robert Parker of Wine Enthusiast magazine as “a deep, intense wine laced with black cherries, minerals, crushed flowers, and violets. This shows superb polish and elegance all the way through to the textured, expansive finish. La Rasina’s Brunello is one of the more opulent wines of the vintage but all of the elements come together quite nicely, especially with some time in the glass."
