Score 89/100 · Drink 2013-2018, Antonio Galloni, Vinous, Jun 2012

The 2009 Modus is 50% Sangiovese, 25% Cabernet Sauvignon and 25% Merlot. Dark plums, smoke, licorice, oak and new leather are some of the nuances that emerge from the glass in this attractive, fleshy red. The 2009 impresses for its juiciness and fine overall sense of balance. Ruffino's Modus is sweet, ripe and inviting through to the finish.
