Batzella 2007 Tâm Red (Bolgheri Superiore)
- Online Exclusive
Here’s a blockbuster blend of Cabernet Sauvignon (65%) and Cabernet Franc that impresses on all levels. The aromatic intensity is outstanding, with deep levels of cherry, chocolate, tobacco and exotic spice. But what impresses most of all is the mouthfeel: It is rich, opulent, velvety and smooth.

Batzella 2007 Bliss Syrah (Toscana)
- Online Exclusive
Some 18 months of careful oak aging have shaped a deep, layered wine with loads of cherry and cola. The wine shows a compact, streamlined structure but there is backbone here and the fresh acidity at the end really hits the spot.

Batzella 2008 Pean Red (Bolgheri)
- Online Exclusive
Pean (an 80-20 blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc) is a round, supple and concentrated wine with a full, soft feeling in the mouth and a generously smooth texture. The aromas recall ripe cherry, chocolate and exotic spice.

Batzella 2004 Tâm Red (Bolgheri Superiore)
This smoky blend of Cabernet Sauvignon and Cabernet Franc is redolent of berry fruit, forest floor, mature prune and plum but delivers its aromas with measured intensity. Still a bit thorny and raw in the mouth; drink after 2012.

Batzella 2008 Bliss Syrah (Toscana)
- Online Exclusive
True to the variety, this pure expression of Syrah shows blueberry, cola, smoked bacon and milk chocolate aromas. The bouquet is a bit muddled compared to last vintage, but the wine is soft and smooth on the finish.
