Winery Notes:

VINTAGE: The 2017 growing year was picture perfect with warm spring and summer days making optimum conditions for flavor development in every grape cluster. The Merlot and Zinfandel grapes were the first to ripen in mid-September followed by the Cabernet Sauvignon and Syrah in late September and mid-October.

WINE: Three generations of the Leonardini Family (Tre Leoni) are responsible for this expertly made proprietary blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Syrah, and Zinfandel. Each grape varietal was fermented and aged as separate lots in French and American oak barrels. Winemaker Jason Moulton tasted through each lot and put the final blend together after aging 18 months. The lion’s share of the wine is Cabernet Sauvignon with equal, lesser percentages of Merlot, and Syrah and a small amount of Zinfandel. This wine was bottled unfined and unfiltered. 
NOTES: This blend has depth, balance and big flavors. The nose evokes black cherry cordial, fresh blackberries, strawberry rhubarb pie, mocha, cedar, dark chocolate, and a hint of graphite. On the palate, it bursts with mixed berry compote, blackberry jam, cacao bean, and toasted walnuts on the finish. This wine has great texture that ultimately
finishes with round, silky smooth tannins. Enjoy Tre Leoni with your next barbeque and when gathering with family or friends. 

Ratings & Reviews:

90 Points - Wine Enthusiast:
"A proprietary blend of Merlot, Cabernet Sauvignon, Syrah and Zinfandel, this red is substantial in weight, with huge tannins and oak at the center of its style. Baked blackberry, plum, leather and tobacco give it a rich flavor." - Virginie Boone (July 2020)
