Mocali Brunello di Montalcino "Vigna delle Raunate" 2013

94 pts Wine Spectator

There is a core of sweet, ripe cherry fruit shaded by spice, earth and tar flavors in this dense red, which is rich and vibrant, with a long, tension-filled aftertaste echoing fruit and spice.

92 pts Wine Advocate

The single-vineyard 2013 Brunello di Montalcino Vigna delle Raunate is a small-production wine with only 3,000 bottles produced. The bouquet is packed tight with black fruit nuances backed by exotic spice, tar, tobacco and even a touch of coarse black pepper. The wine wraps thickly over the palate with fresh acidity and firm texture.

There's bright fruit here with sour cherry and lemon aromas and flavors. Medium body, fine tannins and a crisp finish. Clean and pretty. Drink now.

87 pts Wine Enthusiast

This opens with subdued aromas of dark fruit, baking spice and a hint of mocha. The firm no-frills palate offers clove, black currant jam and vanilla alongside assertive close-grained tannins.
