Luce 1999 della Vite Sangiovese (Toscana)

This super Tuscan blends 50% Sangiovese with 50% Merlot for a wine that combines some of the wiry structure of Sangiovese with the plump flesh of Merlot. Filled with more opulent fruit than the '98, this vintage may be the best yet, bursting with plum and mocha flavors that extend through the dry, toasty finish.
