Ramiiisol, Cabernet Franc Riserva, Monticello, 2014

Made like the Classico (wild-yeast fermented, aged in large older oak vessels, unfined and unfiltered) but deeper, richer and weightier and with no overstatement. Poised, resonant, with pepper and blackberry fruit and very silky tannins. Precise and long, complex and tight. Fruit from portions of the estate's two best-performing blocks, vinified separately, and after a year were blended into two large Slovenian oak casks then aged for an additional two years and eight months. 3,700 bottles made.
