This 2016 is juicy and ripe, with beguiling aromas that lean toward the floral and spicy (as opposed to the more somber and earth-driven aromatics of Arboreus). It displays a bold tannic presence, but the palate is more delineated and perkier than that of the Arboreus, with vivid, crunchy pit fruits and lurking mineral heft. Like Bea's peerless red wines, Santa Chiara is a wine of opposing forces; it is both exuberant and firm, both challenging and deeply delicious.
