Just reaches the cut of excellence with its attractively stewed nose that packs in plenty of blueberry and other jammy dark-fruit aromas. Well-oaked but not overdone, with cherry, cassis, tobacco and chocolate all in equal, balanced portions. Villa La Selva is a good label with true-to-form Tuscan wines; its blend of Sangiovese and Cabernet is on the money.
