Ca'Marcanda Magari Bolgheri Cabernet Sauvignon Blend 2017

9.2

Smooth and Silky. Not much on the nose, but entry and finish made up for that. Dinner in NYC with B @ catch steak May have seen #28 Curtis Martin NYJ as well. — 4 years ago

Cupcake Vineyards

Central Coast Cabernet Sauvignon 2013

Linda Hawk

8.6

This is Wine Enthusiast's #28 pick in their 2016 Top 100 Best Buys. Their words: "A screaming deal." For only $7.97 at Total Wine, it is a good deal and a good weekday wine. Rather tannic, but not overly so. — 8 years ago

Altesino

Rosso Toscana Sangiovese Blend 2018

AEL

8.8

A well made blend nicely representative of southern Tuscany. This producer is just outside Montalcino, and makes some really good stuff. At $17, a great entree to their wines. Points for cost/benefit ratio. Pandemic bottle #28. — 5 years ago
