LaStella Espressivo 2023

Okanagan Valley, British Columbia, CanadaThis Super Tuscan blend of 42% cabernet franc, 30% merlot, 16% cabernet sauvignon, and 12% sangiovese was aged 20 months in 91% French and Slovenian oak barrique (11% new). Dark plum, cherries, and fresh herbs fill a medium-full body with drying Italian-like tannins and fresh acidity. Still very youthful but good balance, depth, and complexity of fruit.Tasted: 26 March 2026Tasted by: Geoffrey Moss MW and HJ ChaPrices:
