Tenuta Argentiera 2005 Argentiera
is $87.50 per bottle in cases of 6
(5 available)
I have been blown away by the quality, elegance and focus of this wonderful Bordeaux blend.
Tenuta Argentiera is our property in Bolgheri owned by Florentine entrepreneurs Corrado and Marcello Fratini along with Piero Antinori.
The aim is to make wines that combine the depth and finesse of the greatest wines of Bolgheri. They are off to a good start. This is their top estate wine with 50% Cabernet Sauvignon, 40% Merlot and 10% Cabernet Franc.
“92 points: Berry, tobacco and light coffee aromas follow through to a full body, with spice, chocolate and berry flavors. Chewy, yet polished and long. This has a solid core of fruit. Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot and Cabernet Franc. Best after 2011” - James Suckling at the Wine Spectator
Il Poggione 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva (Vigna Paganelli)
is $94.50 per bottle in cases of 6
Antonio Galloni at the Wine Advocate (I am being very lazy this week),
“93+ points:
The 2003 Brunello di Montalcino Riserva Vigna Paganelli is made from old vines in the estate’s Paganelli vineyard in Sant’Angelo in Colle. It is surprisingly fresh in its expression of red cherries, tobacco, leather, earthiness and spices. … This is high-class Sangiovese. In the torrid 2003, winemaker Fabrizio Bindocci gave the Riserva 12 days of fermentation/maceration on the skins, and aged the wine in large French oak casks. … I wouldn’t be surprised to see the 2003 Riserva merit a higher score in a few years. …. Anticipated maturity: 2010-2028.

I was completely blown away by the wines I tasted from Il Poggione this year. …. Winemaker Fabrizio Bindocci and his team have done an exceptional job for which they deserve all the praise in the world.”
(Forgive the gaps. It was too long, but all positive.)
Colpetrone Montefalco Rosso 2006
is $30.95 per bottle in cases of 6
Còlpetrone is one of the most important wine producers in the Montefalco D.O.C.G.
This is a rare blend of the native Sagrantino grape with Sangiovese and Merlot to offer softness and elegance.
Sangiovese 70%, Sagrantino 15%, Merlot 15%.
This is a dense and rich wine with the ability to mature over five or more years. Now it has full bodied fruit with good balancing tannins. It is perfect for red meat. This is a consistent 2 Bicchieri winner with the Gambero Rosso.
Zerbina Ceregio 2007
is in cases of 12 and costs $19.99 per bottle
I know I talk about this all the time, but I had it again last night. For anyone who has ever loved Chianti, this 100% Sangiovese offers some of the best value in our portfolio.
Cristina Geminiani is a genius and my wife is OK with the fact that I love her.
