A food-friendly blend of Cabernet Sauvignon, Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah, Cum Laude offers attractive notes of milk chocolate and creamy cherry over a rich, plump mouthfeel. Meat dishes or pasta al forno with a crunchy cheese topping would fit the bill.

Castello Banfi 1999 Cum Laude Sangiovese (Sant'Antimo)
- $35
This is a new kitchen-sink offering from Banfi, featuring Cabernet, Merlot, Sangiovese and Syrah. It goes full bore on the red fruit and oak, with spicy berry aromas and cherry flavors. The tannins are pretty hard, and with ample acids, this young wine currently starches the cheeks. But in three years it should become a good to very good table wine.

Castello Banfi 2000 Cum Laude Sangiovese (Sant'Antimo)
- $36
Quite candied, with aromas of red licorice, cassis and boysenberry syrup. A true berry ball, with forward fruit, a sweet and easy finish, and mild tannins. Laudable for its zippy qualities, but could use more structure.
