Il Fauno di Arcanum 2007 IGT Toscana, Tenuta di Arceno

The Jess Jackson family purchased the Arceno estate in 1994. Located in he southeast corner of Chianti Classico, it has 223 acres of vines. But unlike most estates in the region the grapes are all Bordeaux varietals; Merlot, Cabernet Franc and Cabernet Sauvignon. This is an ideal showcase for the remarkably talented Pierre Seillan, winemaker for the Jackson's Veritas wines as well as his Grand Cru Chateau Lassegue in St. Emilion. Here, Seillan blends 57% Merlot, 24% Cabernet Sauvignon and 19% Caberent Franc. The grapes for this wine come from a warmer, well-exposed section of the estate, where the grapes get well ripened and take on a voluptuous quality. Aged 12 months in 30% new French oak barrels, Il Fauno shows ripe blackberry, cherry, spiced and mineral notes along with lively acidity that allows the flavors linger on a long finish. Super Tuscan indeed!

Comments about Il Fauno di Arcanum 2007 IGT Toscana, Tenuta di Arceno:

This has easily become my new favorite Italian wine under $25. When I tasted it with Josh I had it pegged as a $50 Super Tuscan, so at half the price this is just a tremendous value. Black cherry and blackberry fruit cascade over the brown spice and chalky tones. Firm tannins and a silky smooth finish make this something to enjoy now but will also age for the next 3-7 years or so. A delight...

Comments about Il Fauno di Arcanum 2007 IGT Toscana, Tenuta di Arceno:

I saw several reviews of 5 glasses. At this price, and having read the specifics in each review I purchased three bottles of this wine. A wine with this kind of rating at this price seemed almost too good to be true, so I wanted to try it for myself. Lo and behold, I found the wine to be very disappointing. Not only was it not impressive for this price, it really wasn't impressive at any price. I am going to try cellaring the remaining bottles for a while to see if the harshness improves over time. In my opinion, the wine really isn't drinkable right now.

Comments about Il Fauno di Arcanum 2007 IGT Toscana, Tenuta di Arceno:

I started with a 3-bottle order (all gone now!) and immediately reordered a case before the supply ran out. This is a great value Italian blend from the Tuscany region that we compared to one of our favorite California Red Blends (BV Tapestry Reserve). My wife and I both found this wine to be every bit as good and in some ways better at $10-15 less per bottle. It will become one of our staple 'go to' wines when having fellow enthusiasts over to share our new discoveries. This is a wine that at this price point will become a weekday sipper as well.
