The Banfi ExcelsuS 2014 is a blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, and Cabernet Franc. It is a full-bodied red wine with aromas of ripe blackberry, black cherry, and cassis. On the palate, it has flavors of dark chocolate, espresso, and tobacco, with a long, smooth finish. This wine pairs well with grilled meats, roasted vegetables, and aged cheeses.
