Description
TASTING NOTE: The 2009 Avvoltore is one of the most refined, elegant wines I have ever tasted from Morisfarms. Sweet, silky tannins frame a core of super-expressive black fruit. The wine flows across the palate gracefully yet there is plenty of underlying structure. This is a fabulous, sleek Avvoltore that is sure to find many fans. Stylistically the 2009 is quite ripe and radiant, but it doesn't have the heft or weight of a truly opulent year. The wine can be enjoyed now or cellared for at least a handful of years. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2024. Score: 93+ (Antonio Galloni, erobertparker.com, Aug. 2011)

Tasting Notes
The 2012 Avvoltore is very pretty. This is an unusually restrained vintage for the Avvoltore. Sweet red cherry, raspberry jam, herb and tobacco notes develop nicely. The 2012 is not a blockbuster, but it will drink nicely pretty much upon release. There is certainly plenty to like in this gracious, nuanced wine from Morisfarms. Drinking window: 2017-2024. Score - 92. (Antonio Galloni, vinous.com, Nov. 2016)
