Cavalli Tenuta degli Dei 2018 (750ML)

96 VM / 95 JS / 92 WA 

The 2018 Tenuta Degli Dei is dense, juicy and wonderfully inviting. Silky tannins wrap around a core of inky dark fruit, chocolate, spice, lavender and new leather. In the glass, the 2018 is intensely aromatic and layered, with exceptional balance and tons of character. Here, too, the wine's overall sense of harmony can only be described as exquisite.-Antonio Galloni, Vinous Media

Gorgeous blackberries and blueberries on the nose with some walnut, bark and black mushroom. Medium-bodied with firm, polished tannins and a fresh finish. Nicely reserved. Pretty mouth feel. Drinkable now, but better in 2023.-James Suckling

This is a blend of Merlot with a small part Alicante Bouschet. The Tenuta degli Dei 2018 Le Redini reveals dark fruit and pressed cherry with a long and silky mouthfeel that wraps softly over the palate. The wine delivers good endurance and length and you have the power and textural richness here to pair with a beef bourguignon.-Monica Larner, The Wine Advocate
