($14):  What a bargain!  This blend of Sangiovese (50%), Cabernet Sauvignon (30%), and Merlot has a charming rusticity amplified by uplifting Italian acidity.  The blend works since the Cabernet adds herbal qualities without  dominating.  The wine’s impressive density–without being heavy–makes it a perfect choice for hearty pasta dishes this winter. 90 Michael Apstein Feb 23, 2016
