Argiano 2004 Solengo Red (Toscana)
-
$88
Solengo, a blend of Cab Sauvignon, Merlot and Syrah, has seemingly infinite depth thanks to its finely-tuned aromas of red cherry, toasted nut, cinnamon, almond and modern, smoky hickory. Elegant, vibrant and buoyant in the mouth, drink this wine after 2012.

Argiano 2005 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
-
$51
From one of the most beautiful and historic estates in Montalcino, Argiano’s Brunello is redolent of cherry, cassis, exotic spice, smoke and very tame, delicate oak notes of toasted vanilla. The wine is bright and polished with firm tannins and some sour cherry nuances on the close.
