Aged entirely in French oak and, gratefully, still retains finesse.

Sangiovese has shown itself in recent years to be an excellent...

Originally, this term was used to classify high quality Tuscan wines that fell outside the parameters set forth by the DOC. Now, however, the term can apply to virtually any wine from Tuscany which chooses, for one reason or another, not to fall into one of the DOC classifications (such as Chianti). Super Tuscans can be 100% Sangiovese, or they can be blends of any number of indigenous or...

The result of an illicit affair a hundred-odd years ago between Sauvignon Blanc and Cabernet Franc, Cabernet Sauvignon today enjoys more worldwide popularity than both of its parents combined. It is the principal grape of Bordeaux, and as such has rightly earned its place among the greatest and most long-lived wines of the Old World; of course, it is also the most heralded grape of California,...
