The 2007 Centenario is a Barbera/Cabernet Sauvignon blend made to celebrate the estate’s tenth anniversary. It shows quite a bit of promise in a blast of dark fruit, but then loses some of its persistence on the mid-palate and finish. This is a relatively plush style, but the wine never seems to fully come together in the glass. Anticipated maturity: 2012-2017.
This is a fabulous lineup from Accornero replete with a number of wines that deliver superb value.
