Máté 2007 Sangiovese Grosso (Brunello di Montalcino)
- $70
The ripe fruit element is perfectly contained and just short of seeming overdone or jammy. It’s soft and round, with loads of oak-driven spice, like cinnamon and ground clove, and plump tones of red cherry, blackberry and plum. What’s really nice is the freshness and overall supple texture.

- $65
Owned by an expat artist/writer couple, Máté shows a great evolution of style and grace over the past years. This 2006 Brunello straddles modernity and tradition with a playful juxtaposition of wild berry and raspberry aromas against vanilla, clove and cinnamon spice.

A lovely Cab from Montalcino, with bright berry aromas of blackberry and wild cherry backed by exotic spice, clove, sweet cinnamon and a touch of espresso bean. The wine is firm but smooth on the finish with loads of fruit intensity at the very end.

The Canadian owners of Máté lead a blessed life between painting, writing and grape-growing. The product of their Tuscan dream is a bold and modern wine that is shaped by sophisticated oak use and rich extraction. Deep aromas of vanilla, spice and blackberry ride over smooth tannins.

Máté 2004 Cabernet Sauvignon (Sant'Antimo)
- $45
Chocolate, cherry, spice and wood shavings are the leading aromas emitted from this hearty Cabernet Sauvignon. Despite its power, it is a beautiful wine with lasting herbal fragrances splashed over tight, firm tannins. This is a big, brawny wine that could overpower many foods, so pair it with grilled beef or roasts.

Máté 2005 Banditone Syrah (Sant'Antimo)
- $55
This 100% Syrah is aged 24 months in barrique and consequently opens with a solid wall of new wood that will require at least five years to integrate, but soft cherry nuances and delicate mineral shadings promise good things to those who wait.
