- Editors' Choice

Jacopo Biondi-Santi 2003 Montepaone Cabernet Sauvignon (Toscana)
- $75
Montepaone is a classic expression of Cabernet that shows enormous focus on elegance and harmony despite the hot vintage. The wine feels streamlined and tight on the palate, but the intensity of its fruit and spice aromas comes forward slowly and consistency on the bouquet.
