Terreno Momento Massimo 2016

The Terreno 2016 MM (Momento Massimo) is 40% Cabernet Sauvignon, 30% Merlot and 30% Petit Verdot that completes two years in barrique. This is an exciting new submission from this estate from a vintage that has captured our hearts. The wine opens to inky dark fruit, seamless integration and soft concentration with full-bodied appeal. The bouquet is tightly held together thanks to a very direct and linear aromatic presentation highlighted by pencil shavings and crushed stone. The wine remains fresh and tonic throughout, yet it has the textural layering to pair with important cuts of beef. Drink date: 2022-2030. Score – 94. (Monica Larner, robertparker.com, Feb. 9, 2023)
