2007 Le Pupille Saffredi

Robert Parker's Wine Advocate, October 2010($115) The 2007 Saffredi is drop-dead gorgeous. Roasted coffee beans, grilled herbs, mocha and dark fruit emerge from this beautiful, textured wine. The richness of the fruit radiates through to the long, polished finish. The 2007 Saffredi impresses for its fabulous balance and soft, enveloping personality. It is another superb effort from proprietor Elisabetta Geppetti. Saffredi is Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Alicante. Anticipated maturity: 2014-2027.   95 points.

($140) Soft and fruity, with plenty of cherry and raspberry character. Full-bodied, with polished tannins and a long, pretty aftertaste. Best after 2013. 2,085 cases made.   92 points.
