Tre Nova 2007 Bonatello Riserva Sangiovese (Columbia Valley (WA))

Online Exclusive

Price $35

This is a top-tier Washington Sangiovese, the tannins thick and textural, the strawberry fruit threaded with tobacco, the acids juicy and fresh. While you might wish for an alcohol reading a bit lower than the 15.9% that is listed, honesty is its own reward, and clearly this was not watered back. Sip gently, and enjoy. — P.G. (12/31/2010)

Online Exclusive

Price $45

This is intended as an Amarone-style wine, made from half Sangiovese and half Barbera. The alcohol hits almost 17%, yet it is quite dry.
