Marchesi Antinori 2008 Solaia Red (Toscana)

  • Cellar Selection
  • Online Exclusive
  1. $325
Definitely on a top 10 list of Italian icons, Solaia affirms the massive potential of Italian winemaking, from vineyard to cantina to cellar and beyond. Superrich and polished, but never over the top, this gorgeous super Tuscan shows deep layers of chocolate, black cherry, rum cake and spice. The secret lies in its balance: Everything is in place, from intensity…  — M.L.  (5/1/2012)

Marchesi Antinori 2004 Solaia Red (Toscana)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $170
The 2004 Solaia is dense and concentrated with loads of character and defining aromatics: plump blackberry, chocolate fudge, exotic spice, peppercorn and smooth balsam notes. The real pleasure comes in the mouth where it delivers smooth elegance and an extra long finish.  — M.L.  (4/1/2008)

Marchesi Antinori 2006 Solaia Red (Toscana)

  • Cellar Selection
  1. $170
Mostly Cabernet Sauvignon and Sangiovese (with a small touch of Cabernet Franc), Solaia’s winning card is texture. The wine is soft, velvety and penetrating in the mouth with succulent flavors of blackberry, creamy cassis berry, chocolate and tobacco. Thick extraction and quality fruit craft a memorable wine that will last many long and happy years in your cellar.  — M.L.  (11/1/2009)

Marchesi Antinori 2003 Solaia Red (Toscana)

  1. $155
Despite the heat, this vintage lives up to the Solaia reputation with a slightly more ripe rendition. Toasted and oak spice aromas hit the nose first followed by strawberry and blackberry preserves. The elegance is not lost and the wine performs nicely in the mouth with chewy succulence, dusty tannins and a long finish.  — M.L.  (9/1/2006)
