Maculan 2003 Fratta Cabernet Sauvignon (Veneto)
- Editors' Choice
- $80
Seductive, succulent and hedonistic. This 77% Cabernet Sauvignon and 33% Merlot blend is incredibly forthcoming and ready to drink immedi ately thanks to its rich toasted notes, chocolate fudge, blackberry, leather, tobacco, menthol and herbal aromas. There’s a ton of vanilla and sweet spice on the velvety finish and melted chocolate on the close.

Maculan 1999 Fratta Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (Veneto)
- Cellar Selection
- $80
Clearly this 67% Cabernet Sauvignon, 33% Merlot blend is designed to appeal to the international market, meaning it’s extracted, rich, supple and at 14.5%, rather high in alcohol (for a Veneto wine). That said, it is truly luscious and delicious, with black fruit pouring out of the glass. Accents of oak, tobacco and vanilla make it all the more friendly. Cellar…

Maculan 2001 Brentino Cabernet Sauvignon-Merlot (Veneto)
- $14
Here’s a pleasant, easy-to-drink blend of Merlot and Cab Sauvignon that begins with earth, bacon and blackberry aromas, which in turn are trailed by basic berry and plum-like flavors. The finish is mildly toasty, with notes of coffee and bramble. The tannins are soft, so the wine feels substantive and rich.
