Villa Toscano 2007 Tre Stellina Red (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Online Exclusive

Price $24

There’s a lot of black pepper, briar and sage in this Sangiovese, Primitivo and Grenache blend, although it offers enough cherry fruit to satisfy. It’s very dry, and the tannins are such that the wine needs rich meats and cheeses to soften and mellow it. — S.H. (12/22/2011)

Villa Toscano 2011 White Barbera (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Price $20

points

Villa Toscano 2010 Barbera (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Online Exclusive

Price $22

This has dark, hearty fruit that is framed mostly around a taste of dried cherry. It’s a bit one-dimensional, finishing with a burst of leather. — V.B. (12/1/2012)

points

Villa Toscano 2011 Pinot Grigio

Price $13

This well-priced, light-bodied Pinot Grigio provides flavors of stone fruit—mostly apricot—with a tiny trace of petrol. It would make a fine apéritif, particularly alongside oysters or shrimp. — V.B. (12/1/2012)

points

Villa Toscano 2009 Tempranillo (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Online Exclusive

Price $22

This Tempranillo gives off intense aromatics of ripe berry pie and has a crisp, smoky finish. In between it's big and brawny, delicious and rustic around the edges. On second sip, the flavors are wrapped in vanilla-kissed oak. — V.B. (12/31/2012)

points

Villa Toscano 2006 Jake's Vineyard Old Vine Zinfandel (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Rustic and sweet as jam you spread on toast, this Zin shows cherry, black raspberry and pepper flavors, wrapped into edgy, slightly green tannins. Robust and briary. Drink now. — S.H. (10/1/2009)

points

Villa Toscano 2006 Estate Bottled Syrah (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Online Exclusive

Price $32

Soft and lush in the mouth, this Syrah has slightly sweet flavors of blackberries, chocolate, bacon, pepper and smoky oak. It’s an easy, gentle wine for barbecue. — S.H. (11/1/2009)

points

Villa Toscano 2006 Old Vine Zinfandel (Shenandoah Valley (CA))

Price $26

Soft, simple and rather sweet, like a chewy candy bar of cherries, currants, cocoa and crunchy granola. High alcohol makes it a little hot and unbalanced, but it will stand up well beside a fabulous cheeseburger. — S.H. (4/1/2010)
