2013 Maculan Fratta Veneto

(91 points) This harmonious red is medium- to full-bodied. Structured by fine-grained tannins, this offers subtle layers of dark and brambly berry, dried marjoram and star anise, with a rich vein of smoke-tinged minerality. Presents a lasting, aromatic finish. Cabernet Sauvignon and Merlot. Best from 2019 through 2027. 600 cases made. -AN (Apr 30 2017) Wine Spectator
